(A good mix of history and scenery)

Visited from Mar 30, 2023 to Apr 16, 2023

(Group 17)

This trip had a good mixture of history and scenery. Four Civil War battlefields, including two major sites at Shiloh and Vicksburg, plus two civil rights sites - Central High School and Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home - filled the history side, along with Fort Smith in western Arkansas and Arkansas Post on the eastern side of the state.

The Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail provided some of the scenery as did Gulf Islands National Seashore and Buffalo National River.

Hot Springs National Park provided a mixture of history and scenery!

Decent weather continued to follow me on my trips, with heavy rain arriving after departing the last park.
