CIVIL WAR TRAILS


 The Tennessee Civil War Trails and the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission continue to tell the story of this important phase of our state’s history. This is part of a multi-state program that identifies, interprets and creates driving tours of both the bigger campaigns and lesser-known Civil War sites.

Civil war trail markers

Discover Tennessee’s rich heritage along the Tennessee Civil War Trails, a multi-state driving network brought to life through a partnership between the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development and Civil War Trails, Inc. Featuring hundreds of interpretive markers across the state, the trail connects visitors to legendary battlefields, hidden historical gems, and the poignant stories of everyday Tennesseans. Local communities with compelling Civil War sites or histories are invited to apply for inclusion, placing their unique story on official travel maps and reaching travelers nationwide.
