The day will include a special ranger hike\, a kids Junior Ranger camp\, cannon firing demonstrations\, tours of Shiloh National Cemetery\, a Civil War era musicale and birthday cake! \n“The National Park Service turns 108 years old on Sunday\, August 25\, so we will be celebrating its birthday at Shiloh on Saturday\, August 24\, with many activities for the public to enjoy\,” said Superintendent Catherine Bragaw. “We want to invite all of our visitors\, park partners\, friends\, and neighbors\, to join with us in the celebration\,” Bragaw continued. \nThe activities will start at 10:00 a.m. as Ranger Timothy Arnold leads a two-hour hike entitled\, “Fraley Field: the Bloody Battle Begins.” Follow in the steps of Colonel Everett Peabody’s early morning patrol as they run into the Confederate skirmishers of the 3rd Mississippi Battalion in Fraley Field. \nHikers will learn about the approach routes of both the Union patrol and the Confederate skirmishers as they met in Fraley Field for the opening shots of the battle. Then follow the path of Prentiss’ Division as they engage in a fighting withdrawal back to Peabody’s camps. \nThe hike will take place from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and hikers will meet at the park visitor center before driving out to the starting point of the hike. The distance of the hike is about 3.5 miles over moderate terrain. Participants should wear clothing and footwear appropriate for the weather.

We have three programs that will immerse children into American History. The first program will take kids through the “School of the Solider” which will teach them how to train like a Civil War solider. The second program will introduce kids to what the artillery did during the Battle of Shiloh and participate in some cannon drills as part of a crew (no live firing). The third and final program will cover the importance of the color bearers in the Civil War\, and you will learn about flags and have a chance to design your own flag! \nThe program starts at the Shiloh Visitors Center at 10:00 a.m. and will end at 12:00 p.m. Participation in this camp is free to registered Junior Rangers and their guardians\, so please register today by calling 731-689-5696. \n– \nThe roar of cannon will echo across Shiloh Battlefield once again.

Demonstrations will take place on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.\, 1:00 p.m.\, 2:00 p.m.\, 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. \nAs part of the NPS birthday\, Shiloh rangers will provide guided tours of the Shiloh National Cemetery.
