In observance of Veterans Day 2021, the Shiloh National Military Park is offering bus services to veterans and spouses.

"The National Park Service cares for many sites dedicated to the American military, and also provides opportunities for our military community to connect with the important history they defend," said Superintendent Allen Etheridge.

The National Parks Service is offering two free guided bus tours of Shiloh National Military Park for active-duty military members and their spouses, as well as veterans and their spouses on Nov. 11. Each tour lasts about two hours. 

Registration is required for both tours, starting at 8:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Call 731-689-5696 to register.

The Battle at Shiloh took place April 6-7, 1862, and more than 23,000 individuals died. The battle raged in the regions of Pittsburg Landing and Shiloh Church. At present, the Shiloh National Military Park spans over 5,000 acres of land.
