Highway 41 approaches the site of a big Civil War battle

If you look back on the Highway 41 trek, it has gone by some notable Civil War sites, primarily Kennesaw Mountain outside Atlanta; several notable landmarks of the Great Locomotive Chase;  Lookout Mountain next to Chattanooga, and now, the Stones River National Battlefield adjacent to Murfreesboro.  We're going to go off-road just a little (not very much) to explore it.

This is the set-up for that, but I'm moving quickly, so you'll see it shortly.


Crossing the Stones River




Across from the Stones River National Cemetery, but still on Highway 41.




Going off-road to the Stones River National Cemetery and National Battlefield (to actually do this, the turn is at Thompson Lane just a little south of here).  You can see some of the grave markers here.
