A battle of the Civil War between more than 80,000 men in the town of Murfreesboro, TN. The National Park Service preserves and protects about 20% of the actual battlefield. Established as Stones River National Military Park in 1927, the site also contains the Stones River National Cemetery. The battle site is located along the Stones River – and following this fierce midwinter battle, the Confederate Army withdrew and ceded control of Middle Tennessee to the Union.
