We borrowed the Aqua Harbor courtesy car and went to the Corinth Civil War Interpretative Center. This is the perfect companion tour for Shiloh Battlefield.
Corinth is a new 15,000 sq foot facility which is reached by a walkway strewn with bronze replicas of soldiers’ belongings after a battle. It sets a reflective tone for the inside exhibits. There you will find interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations on the Battles of Shiloh and Corinth as well as full-scale reproductions of battlefield fortifications.
The highlight of the museum is the extensive courtyard and reflecting pool which gives visitors a chance to ponder the many questions raised by the exhibit and the continuing impact of the Civil War on our history.
There is an excellent bookstore also. I picked up "Gone With the Wind" which I have always meant to read. It provides a fictionalized version to what we have witnessed at both parks.
