We're hoping (some decade) to be able to take a whole summer and just tour civil war sites. We've seen Pea Ridge, WestPort, Boonville, and a few memorials to dead confederates, but poverty has restricted us to battle grounds in MO and north AR. There's just not a whole lot in MO. The Confederate Old Age home is barely an hour's drive, we've seen that, but that's about it. (Needless to say...it no longer has any residents, being a museum now!)
He wants to see Gettysburg ; I want to see Shiloh and Vicksburg.
