Pea Ridge National Military Park
This national military park is the best-preserved battlefield from the Civil War. It was the site of the Pea Ridge battle, which was pivotal for Missouri and the West. The movie they show in the Visitor Center is worth the time, as it helps you understand what you're about to see. You may wonder why this Visitor Center is sitting in the middle of such an enormous lawn—until you realize that the "lawn" is the actual battlefield.
The 4,300 acres of grounds are beautifully maintained, and you can explore them easily by driving the 7-mile loop. Ride your bike or your horse through the battlefield for a unique perspective. Stops along the way let you understand how the battle unfolded. The written material uses a point of view that's carefully balanced between the two sides. Don't be surprised if you see some deer and other wildlife

Check out Lookout Ridge, the "high ground" will give you a commanding view of the entire battlefield.
