Walk the battlefield that is among the largest cavalry engagements of the Civil War.
On October 25, 1864, on the banks of Mine Creek, two Union brigades of approximately 2,500 troops defeated approximately 7,000 Confederates from General Sterling Price's Army of Missouri. Federal Colonels Frederick W. Benteen and John H. Philips led the attack in one of the largest cavalry battles of the Civil War and a major battle fought in Kansas. Their dramatic story comes alive at Mine Creek Battlefield.
Horses, bikes, ATVs and motorbikes are not permitted on the battle grounds of Mine Creek Civil War Battlefield State Historic Park. Leashed dogs are welcome on the grounds and trails.
