Shiloh National Military Park preserves and interprets the history of this pivotal Civil War battlefield, known for its high casualty rates and decisive outcome. Meanwhile, in Savannah, the Tennessee River Museum is located in the city’s old post office building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum’s exhibitions cover thousands of years of natural and local history.
