The cost for the tour will be $3.00 unless you have a Golden Age Passport, it will be free. Shiloh is a 5000 acre military park where a fierce two day battle took place in April 1862 between the 40,000 Union and 40,000 Confederate forces. Total casualties were estimated at 20,000. Reserve your seat on the van by calling 386-6779.
