About Brice's Cross Roads National Battlefield Site

This National Park Service site preserves the ground of the June 1864 battle in which Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest led a smaller Confederate force to victory over a Union army. Although the Union force was beaten, its supply lines between Nashville and Chattanooga stayed secure. The park is administered by the Natchez Trace Parkway and sits about 15 miles north of Tupelo. Visitors follow markers and a tour route across the battlefield, and the site has no visitor facilities of its own.
