    On Saturday and Sunday December 13-14, 2008 visitors are invited to share the stories of two soldiers who fought each other during the Battle of the Cedars on December 7, 1864. This small battle pitted Union forces from Fortress Rosecrans against Confederates commanded by General Nathan Bedford Forrest. The Federal victory along the Wilkinson Pike ended the last major threat to Northern control of the Murfreesboro area.

    Programs will be presented at 11:00am, 1:00pm, 2:00pm and 3:00pm at Tour Stop #2. Each program will include a musket demonstration.
