qualified, professional area guides and
guide services are available. Park rangers
and volunteers offer guided tours of the battlefield on a regular basis from May through
October, although most battlefield tours are
caravan tours, during which visitors follow
the tour leader in their own vehicles. There
are also occasional public walking and bike
tours. Special group tours, including staff
rides for military groups, are offered based
on staff availability. Contact the park at
the number below if you wish to request a
special battlefield tour.
When should we plan our visit? Due

to the area's moderate year-round climate,
any time should be fine to visit.
What else can we do nearby? Since
Murfreesboro and the battlefield are
only about 30 miles from downtown

Nashville, there are countless places
to see and things to do in "Music
City" and its suburbs. However, after
exploring the park, groups may also
wish to visit the Murfreesboro area's
premier historic mansions: Oaklands,
www.oaklandsmansion.org; and the
Sam Davis Home and Museum, www.
samdavishome.org. Also nearby is
the Historic Cannonsburg Village,
www.murfreesborotn.gov/164/
cannonsburgh-village.
Where can we find good places to
stay and eat? Although most groups are

likely to make a visit to Stones River as a
day trip from their preferred accommodations in Nashville, there are also a good
variety of motor inns and dining facilities to
choose from in the Murfreesboro area.
