Pea Ridge National Military Park is a fantastic and well preserved military park and battlefield site. It is a gorgeous and spacious grounds with a fantastic museum and newly remodeled visitors center. The park offers living history at its best with stations, military maneuvers, musketry and cannon demos, and super knowledgeable historians. It is very informative but also sad to think of what happened at this place. The site is definitely worth the stop.
Short drive around the battle field. The virtual tour from the QR code was informative. Make sure to stop by the visitor center and watch the 30 minute video about the battle before you go.

Educational. Museum is nicely done and the film is helpful. Tour is by car with a few optional short walks.

I found this place to be fascinating. The guides are exceptionally knowledgeable and there is even a short film to educate the public as to the history that lives there.
