Springfield has a lot of history for a small town.

On October 8, 1862, cannon explosions shattered the rural peace of this tranquil countryside and the death moans of young soldiers. Perryville became the site of the most destructive Civil War battle in the state which left more than 7,600 killed, wounded or missing. The Perryville Battlefield park museum tells of the battle that was the South’s last serious attempt to gain possession of Kentucky. Jeff Shaara, author of the guidebook Jeff Shaara's Civil War Battlefields: Discovering America's Hallowed Ground, lists Perryville Battlefield as one of the 10 great Civil War places to visit. His national review appeared in USA Today. This Kentucky battlefield is one of the most unaltered Civil War sites in the nation; vistas visible today are virtually those soldiers saw on that fateful day in 1862. The total acreage of the battlefield is 1,200 acres. A self-guided walking tour on the battlefield interprets battle events. This is one of the stops along Kentucky's Lincoln Heritage Trail. Located 27 miles from Tiwazzen Farm

The Perryville Battlefield, the Visitors Center, its museum, and the film that’s shown that explains what happened here in 1862 are all excellent. Visitors can participate in a guided walking tour of the battlefield, or take a self-guided tour. A number of historical presentations are available at the Battlefield. Visitors to town are urged to check the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site’s website to check on availability...there’s usually a program every couple of weeks, on ghost hunting on the battlefield, on interesting Civil War-era characters, on 19th century funeral customs, Christmas customs, deciphering symbolism on tombstones...❤️
