What a great museum. We had very little free time on our trip, but we were staying in Corinth, so we spent some time here. Lots of parking available! I could have been there longer:). Lots to see, and great 'videos' to watch regarding the history of Corinth during the Civil War. I need to add that there was NO charge to walk through this interesting place, however there is a donation box.

If you've ever wanted to visit an old fashioned soda fountain, this is the place to go. The food is not fancy but everything is delicious! I've had the patty melt, the burger, the slug burger, taco salad, cornbread salad, grilled cheese, fried chicken salad, etc. I've never had a bad meal here. If you're a fan of fountain sodas, be sure and try the cherry Coke. The sweet tea is fantastic and the shakes are out of this world! On a busy Saturday you may wait a little bit to get a table because there is limited seating and service might be a little slow but it's still very good service. Through the week we've had no problems with service at all. The restaurant has a wonderful nostalgic feel and there are so many antiques and Civil War items to look at while you're enjoying your lunch. The bathroom could use a little updating but it has always been clean. This restaurant was the same when I was in high school, and when my mother was in high school, it's a piece of history with some great food.

4.0 based on 13 reviews
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.
5. 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.
