You're invited to the 116th anniversary of the establishment of the Shiloh National Military Park. The event will take place Tuesday, December 28, beginning at 2 p.m., at the Shiloh Visitors Center. The event is hosted by the Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Park was established by Congress December 27, 1894 and commemorated the April 6-7, 1862 battle that raged around Shiloh Church and Pittsburg Landing. That event produced more than 23,000 casualties and was the largest engagement in the Mississippi Valley campaign during the Civil War.
