The Farrar Homeplace is a historic mansion in Shelbyville, Tennessee, U.S.. It was built circa 1848 for James Franklin Farrar. [2] According to the "family tradition", the house played a minor role during the American Civil War. [2] Indeed, five soldiers of the Union Army died in the house after they drank the laudanum that Farrar was using to heal his wounds from the Battle of Bull Run as a member of the Confederate States Army. [note 1] [2] By 1990, the house still belonged to the Farrar family. [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 7, 1990. [3]

Notes

  1. The source refers to "Battle of Bull Run", which might be presumed to mean the 1861 First Battle of Bull Run rather than the 1862 Second Battle of Bull Run, but it is not clear.

Wilsons Creek National Battlefield National battlefield in Missouri, United States

Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, located near Republic, Missouri, preserves the site of the Battle of Wilson's Creek. Fought on August 10, 1861, the battle was the first major American Civil War engagement west of the Mississippi River. In the battle, a Confederate army commanded by Benjamin McCulloch and Sterling Price defeated a smaller Union army commanded by Nathaniel Lyon. However, the Confederates were unable to hold much of Missouri, and a Confederate defeat at the Battle of Pea Ridge effectively solidified Union control of the state. Major features include a five-mile automobile tour loop, the restored 1852 Ray House, and "Bloody Hill," the site of the final stage of the battle. The site is located near Republic in southwestern Missouri just southwest of the city of Springfield. It has been a unit of the National Park Service since 1960, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
