Description
Elkhorn Tavern with its split-rail fence at Pea Ridge National Military Park in Northwest Arkansas. During the 1862 Civil War battle between the Union and Confederacy, fighting took place near and around the tavern. Despite being struck by bullets and cannonballs, the tavern remained standing and provided as a field hospital for the surgeons to tend to the wounded soldiers. It's namesake can be seen atop the roof.
