Sara Pollard led a hike at the Stones River Battlefield in Murfreesboro. We watched the 9-minute video in the Visitors Center about the Civil War battle in the area before starting our hike. It was a warm day, but we were able to stay in the shade most of the time. After the hike, Evonne Drown, Wayne's wife joined us for lunch at the Red Robin Restaurant. Hikers were Jay Brain, Anna Lina Buckley, Betsy Dozier, Wayne Drown, Sheila Finney and Sara Pollard.
Sara Pollard had planned to lead this 3.6-mile loop hike but was only able to hike the first mile after getting everyone signed in. She had a previous engagement and Tony Jones agreed to lead the hike for her. The trail is flat and there are several signs to read about the history of the battlefield where the Union and the Confederacy battled for control of the road and railroad connecting Nashville and states to the south. Hikers were Susan Banner, Tammy Gross, Tony Jones and Jay Legenhausen.
