About Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park

This state park protects more than 1,000 acres of the ground where the Battle of Prairie Grove was fought in December 1862. The park is regarded as one of the most intact Civil War battlefields in the country. The fighting here ended major Civil War combat in northwest Arkansas. Visitors can follow walking and driving tours, attend park programs and weekend events, and see artifacts from the battle at the Hindman Hall Museum. The park also hosts a large re-enactment every other year in early December.
