The Hazen Brigade Monument, built in early 1863, is the oldest, intact Civil War monument in the nation… The NATION!!! Here in our backyard!!! Tony and I went to Stones River National Battlefield and this Monument is located on the same side of the road as the National Cemetery just a few yards down the road from the Visitors Center. Its a monument with an Iron gate and stone wall around several graves. There is also some cannons located in park along with the marker signs. If you want to go on a nice walk with your kids or animals. to enjoy a great walk during the afternoon and learning some Great Historical facts… you must go here !!! I highly recommend this area, even if you are NOT a history Buff, like me!!! IT’s Ideal just for a great hour or two or longer of enjoying God’s Backyard and the beauty of Nature. I am going again, and again… and AGAIN !!!
