Date of Visit: May 3, 2026
On our last day in Springfield, Missouri, we visited the nearby Wilson's Creek National Battlefield as a national park unit we have not been to before and, of course, collect another America 250 stamp. We learned about the battle in the Visitor Center and drove the Tour Road.
As we wanted to make sure to make it back to Springfield for Disney/Pixar's Cars at the Gillioz Theatre, we did kind of rush our visit and only stopped at a few of the stops on the Tour Road. At one stop we took a short hike to the Gibson's Mill and House sites. At another stop, we walked up to the Ray house and I did a sketch of it.
