Hubby and I ate lunch at Crocodile Ed's in Florence, then we rode to Savannah, Tennessee. We parked in front of the courthouse, where I began taking pictures.
The Hardin County Courthouse is a Red-Brick building with a clock tower and a weather vane.
It has 32 windows across the front, a four-column porch with two fireplace smokestacks.

At Shiloh National Park, we stopped and toured the museum.
Inside the museum, we saw famous Civil War veterans.
We saw Maps of the Shiloh Battlefield, rebels, Southern Commanders, Ammunition, the long roll, the gunner, Northern commanders, and soldiers.
