The Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site, 2 miles north of Perryville, encompasses more than 890 acres of this historic Kentucky battlefield. The pristine nature of much of the battlefield, a museum, and a wide expanse of well-maintained trails makes this one of the best Civil War battlefields to visit.
