Tullahoma dedicating Civil War pen Thursday

The city of Tullahoma, Tenn., will dedicate a Civil War Trails pen Thursday.

The pen records that in Jan 1863, after a Battle of Stones River, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee fortified Tullahoma to strengthen a supply repository and his headquarters. Tullahoma also served as a army’s medical center, with local and ubiquitous hospitals.

The Tennessee Civil War Trails is partial of a multistate birthright tourism module that creates pushing tours of Civil War sites. Three hundred such markers are being placed opposite a state.

Tennessee had some-more Civil War battles on the dirt than any other state solely Virginia.
