From the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park website:
"Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park
Recognized nationally as one of America’s most intact Civil War battlefields, Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park protects the battle site and interprets the Battle of Prairie Grove, where on December 7, 1862, the Confederate Army of the Trans-Mississippi clashed with the Union Army of the Frontier in a day of fierce fighting resulting in about 2,700 casualties. This marked the last major Civil War engagement in northwest Arkansas.
The park also has playground equipment, water fountains, bathroom facilities, and a mile-long paved walking trail for your family’s outdoor fun.
The entrance to Battlefield State Park is accessed off of Hwy 62. Civil War reenactments are held in December on scheduled years, and the annual Clothesline Fair is hosted on the grounds each Labor Day."
