Respect and honor for all who fought and died here. Well kept. Zillow tree remnants, monument, unknown soldiers grave with monument, name roster, graveyard. Definitely a must see.

Great find on the side of the road. There is a very nice trail with multiple historical markers. It was humbling to walk on such hollowed ground.
Love the reinactment, in joy the park. It's a shame we'll not have anymore reinactment's
Go to the visitor center an see all the displays an read the history of the battle. Make sure to also visit the park an walk the trail through the ravine an read all the signs. Then get in your car an take the driving tour.
Zollicoffer Park marks the site of the fiercest fighting in the Battle of Mill Springs. The park is named for Confederate Gen. Felix K. Zollicoffer. It was here that Zollicoffer rode forward to speak with what he mistakenly thought were his own troops. As a result of his mistake, Zollicoffer was shot and killed. The battle lines were drawn at the split rail fence, as the Federals were secure at the fence and the southern Confederate soldiers were divided trying to attack without the leadership of General Zollicoffer. The park includes a momument to Zollicoffer and his men in addition to the Confederate mass grave and marker. Both of these were placed here in 1910 by Confederate veterans. The park also contains a three-fourths mile walking trail, interpretive signs, Confederate soldiers' memorial stones and the earth-print of the large white oak tree where it was said General Zollicoffer's body was placed after his death during the battle. Within the park you will find a 3/4 mile hiking trail that will take you through the most pivotal parts of the battle through numerous interpretive signs. It's a beautiful, well maintained park that does an excellent job walking you through the battle while you stand right where men fought and died many years ago.
So full of Southern history!
Well done historical site! Hallowed ground.
Walk through the Confederate cemetery. Notice how many times you see the same last name on headstones. Think on that.
