For more details of the planned events at Perryville Battlefield, visit: perryvillebattlefield.org The Battle of Perryville on Oct. 8, 1862, was the largest and bloodiest engagement of the American Civil War fought within Kentucky's borders. Thousands of soldiers were engaged in a desperate battle that left nearly 7,500 men killed and wounded. The significance of the battle was considerable and not only affected the state, but also the nation. The engagement was a Confederate victory. However, Southern forces were unable to maintain a military presence in the state and eventually withdrew into Tennessee. The initial battlefield victory ultimately turned into a tactical loss as Union forces occupied the state thereafter. Perryville Battlefield is 45 miles southwest of Lexington. Take U.S. 68 West to U.S. 150 West. For more information about Perryville, visit www.perryvillebattlefield.org.
