Symposium on the Field

A series of FREE tours led by historians that will cover detailed aspects of the battle that took place at Perryville on October 8th, 1862. Each tour will be 90 minutes in duration. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water as there is often a fair amount of walking on hilly terrain! These tours will take place all over the Perryville, Kentucky area on public and at times private property. This is our fourth Symposium on the Field. We have had tour guides Taylor Bishop, Dan Master, Jamie Gillum, Derrick Lindow, Stuart Sanders, and Darryl Smith lead tours in the past. Schedule will be posted on the link provided once it has been finalized. We offer one tour on Friday evening, three on Saturday, and one on Sunday morning, along with a Saturday evening gathering at the historic Bottom House, hosted by the Friends of Perryville Battlefield.
