About Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center

The Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center is run as one of two locations of Shiloh National Military Park, with the other being the Shiloh battlefield in Tennessee. The park's Corinth page describes a town that grew up in the 1850s where two railroad lines met in northeast Mississippi, near the Tennessee border. Corinth lies about 22 miles southwest of Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River, where the Battle of Shiloh was fought in April 1862.
