Corinth, Mississippi

 

This home has been in Dave's family since 1866.

It is part of the Civil War driving tour.

 

 

Corinth was founded in 1854 it served as a junction for the Mobile & Ohio and Memphis & Charleston railroads. Corinth's location at the junction of two railroads made it strategically important to the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

Some of our favorite eateries

Abe's Grill

 

The moment you drive up to this little diner you know the place is special.  The 17 stool lunch counter grill was opened in 1974 making it the oldest diner on highway 72 in Corinth, Mississippi.

The Farm

 

Shiloh Battle Field,

Shiloh, Tennessee

On 4,400 acres overlooking the Tennessee River, 156 monuments, 217 cannons, and more than 650 historic tablets mark America's best preserved battlefield, site of the Civil War's first major combat in the western theater. Fought April 6th and 7th, 1862, Shiloh gave General U.S. Grant his sternest test, and witnessed the death of General Albert Sidney Johnston, the highest ranking American ever killed in combat. 

 Our friends George and Janine from home happened to be visiting relatives in Alabama.  They were able to come and spend a week with us. 

 

Another favorite place to eat. Located on the edge of the Tennessee River.
 

On this spot in 1825, Henry Hagy and his wife Polly docked their flat boat, laid claim to several acres of bottom land, and began to build a farm and family. Later their son John built a rough log shack next to the river to store items that were to be shipped by steamboats. The shack was occupied by Union soldiers during the battle of Shiloh.
