Didn't have a chance to post last week. Went to the battlefield last Friday. The visitor center was interesting and we watched a short movie about the battle that took place here. The park is a drive through and has either an cd audio (you can buy) or a number that you can call on your cell phone and listen to the updates.
Visitor Center
Our first crossing of Wilson Creek
The only original house still standing after the battle. The family came out of the shelter and helped attend the wounded after the battle.
Just a couple of pictures of the various stops we made along the way. The leaves were just beginning to change color and the weather was absolutely gorgeous.
Decided we were hungry so went in search of a restaurant. The town of Republic wasn't very far away. Ate at this cafe called Ziggy's. First time in several years we were asked if we wanted the smoking or non-smoking section. Didn't think any of these were still left. Several older gentleman aka farmers came in for coffee and dessert in the afternoon.
