Brices Cross Roads NBS

Winning the Battle, Losing the War

The Confederate victory at Brices Cross Roads was a significant victory for Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest, but its long term effect on the war proved costly for the Confederates. Brices Cross Roads is an excellent example of winning the battle, but losing the war.

Taking in this unit is best done by first stopping at The Mississippi's Final Stands Interpretive Center, located at 607 Grisham St, Baldwyn, MS 38824, (operated by the Mississippi's Final Stands Civil War Board). This is not a NPS ran center but they have a great center and tell the story well. This unit does not have a Visitor Center. The site is small and can be seen in a short time. Be sure to take in the cemetery next to the site, so much history there.
