The Hornet’s Nest

Visit Shiloh Battlefield and the Hornets Nest on April 6 to see special events about the battle. It is very well done and a great variety of activities from the 1860's time period. Great family adventure.

One of my favorite spots on the battlefield.

Prentiss’ men of the Sixth Division held out for hours against repeated Confederate attacks, buying General Grant time to organize his defenses

The Shiloh National Park has the most beautiful monuments, particularly for the South. I was so touched by the thought put into the symbolic statues. The bookstore at the park is fantastic on its own, and they sell a useful little book called "A History & Guide to the Monuments of Shiloh National Park" by Stacy W. Reaves. I highly recommend this book. Shiloh is my favorite Civil War park because of the monuments and the well-stocked bookstore.

This Civil War Battlefield is a must. To stand on this hollowed ground was a very somber and moving experience. The park staff was wonderful and the driving tour was amazing. Though I checked this off of my bucket list, we will probably go back.

Go you won’t regret it

Went through the Hornets nest during our boy scout hike through Shiloh park. If you watch the movie before hiking around or get the local boy scout troop book and read it before. You will have a better understanding of what you are looking at.

Great place to explore!

Shiloh National Military Park is a great stop to learn Civil War history. There are great exhibits, guided tours and even a short movie about the war. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Love how clean everything is kept

Deep in the woods the canon & monument was found, practically forgotten had we not had a detailed battlefield map.

Had a great Shiloh guide with us who explained and spoke as if we were really there... very informative enjoyed

The Shiloh battlefield is very well kept. Start with the video presentation at the visitors center.

One of the stops at Shiloh, The hornets nest is another place that you can almost visualize the civil war battle fought there.

On Memorial Day they had a ranger guided tour, that went over the story of the battle and information of where it took place.

I have been visiting here for nearly 50 years. It is still wonderful and amazing

Very educational for a history buff but we had come for the Pokémon.

Shiloh is one of our finest military parks. A don't miss experience.

Wow, what a place, the sacrifices on both sides are astounding. Beautiful, poignant, and very moving, loved it.

You have to see. You will understand why the US Army was able to hold out for so long.
