The Civil War,,,, On A Harley?

Here’s is a traveling idea I bet you never thought about!  

Arkansas Introduces Civil War Trail by Motorcycle. You heard it right, Arkansas is spear-heading this attraction which includes a new Heritage Trail created to make battle sites more accessible for motorcycles.   

Eight Civil War campaigns in Arkansas are designated on this trail and a brochure with a map lays out how motorcycles can visit the battle sites.

The State’s Civil War sites include Prairie Grove, one of the most intact Civil War battlefields in the nation, where Union and Confederate troops saw intense fighting on Dec. 7, 1862.

Other trails featured on the map for motorcyclists lead to Pea Ridge and follow the Little Rock Campaign, the Attack on Pine Bluff, the Confederate Approach to Helena, the Camden Expedition, Price’s Raid and Ozark to the Battle of Fayetteville.

If you have a love for history as well as a love for riding, this attraction is for you. It’s just another hidden gem discovered in our great nation.
