Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site

About Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site

The site of the most destructive Civil War battle fought in Kentucky, on October 8, 1862, and one of the least altered battlefields in the nation — the vistas are much as the soldiers saw them. Nineteen miles of walking trail and a museum interpret the day.
