Battery Robinett was built by the Federal Army following the Siege of Corinth and was the site of fierce fighting on October 4, 1862, during the 2nd day of the Battle of Corinth. The obelisk pays tribute to Col. William P. Rogers of the 2nd Texas Infantry who showed great bravery trying to climb the walls of the battery to claim it for the Confederacy. Four unknown Civil War soldiers are buried on this site.
3. Corinth Contraband Camp
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 28 reviews
Many African Americans who fled Southern plantations and farms seeking freedom and protection found the Union occupied Corinth to be a secure location. Union General Grenville Dodge understood what effect the defection of thousands of African Americans would have on the Confederate War effort. He began to enlist the escaped slaves who came into his lines as teamsters, cooks, and laborers. He actively recruited male refugees, armed them, and placed them in charge of security at the newly organized contraband camp in Corinth.

This is nice place to visit after a stop at the Civil War Interpretive Center. We got some great photos of the statues and spent some time in quiet reflection. I hope there are plans in the works to expand this camp into an actual museum or at least add some additional signage that explains the significance of this site.

I thought our stop at the Verandah House was well worth the time. The exterior architecture and grounds are lovely. The interior was surprising - the house is really just four large rooms and a huge central hall - but with the curator's explanation of the how the house was designed, how the rooms were used and how it helped keep the occupants cooler during the hot summer days, it all made great sense. Stop in, you'll be impressed.
