Shiloh National Military Park 116th Anniversary
Shiloh, Tennessee

On Tuesday, December 28, the Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau will host a birthday party to commemorate the establishment of Shiloh National Military Park. The event will be held at the Visitors Center on Shiloh National Military Park and will begin at 2 p.m.

Congress established Shiloh National Military Park on December 27, 1894, to commemorate the April 6-7, 1862, battle that raged around Shiloh Church and Pittsburg Landing. Producing more than 23,000 casualties, the battle was the largest engagement in the Mississippi Valley campaign during the Civil War. Originally under the War Department, Shiloh National Military Park was transferred to the National Park Service in the Department of the Interior in 1933. Currently, the park has over 4,200 acres.
