Living in Missouri

Living in Missouri means being surrounded by reminders of our nation's history. Just outside of Branson, in the middle of the Ozarks, is Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, the site of the first major battle of the Civil War west of the Mississippi. This park is where the first Union General was killed in combat, Nathaniel Lyon. The battle here involved over 17,000 soldiers and ended with a win for the Confederates.

Visitors to this park pay a nominal fee for entrance and can either drive through the battlefield or park to explore it by foot. You can explore the museum, trails, and old homes that were used as makeshift hospitals during the battle. Another attraction is Bloody Hill, where part of the battle took place. Once a year in August there is also a two day event when a reenactment of the battle takes place.
