These are our guiding principles for every reenactment and living history held at Perryville Battlefield.
This is why we do what we do.
Perryville Battlefield’s Mission
Perryville Battlefield is a nationally significant Civil War site. Although Confederate forces were victorious on the battlefield at Perryville, the Rebels eventual evacuation of the state forever lost Kentucky’s resources and men for the Confederacy. The Confederate loss of Kentucky along with Lee’s loss at Antietam set the stage for Abraham Lincoln to change the cause and course of the war. We strive to educate the visiting public on the key role that Perryville and Kentucky played in the Civil War as well as defining national politics that would forever change then nation.
