The Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site is a historic site in Tupelo, Mississippi. It commemorates the Battle of Brice?s Crossroads, a Civil War event where the Confederate Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest defeated a larger Union force and secured the lines between Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Established in 1929, the Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site is a relatively small park with only 1 acre of the original area that historic battlefield covered. The site features a monument supplemented with two signs that talk about the battle. Hiking is the most popular activity at the site, although, folks can also check out the visitor?s center (Brice?s Crossroads Visitor and Interpretive Center) where more information about the site can be found.

The Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site is a day-use park open all year round.
