2015 Annual Field Trip: Perryville Battlefield, (KY)

Battle of Perryville, KY (October 8, 1962)

For 2015, the MRRT traveled from October 10-11 to Perryville, the site of the most destructive Civil War battle in Kentucky, which left more than 7,600 killed, wounded or missing.

The 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. Our 2015 Field Trip to the Perryville, KY Battlefield is now available online in the following formats:
