We are currently cruising the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers and it is such a beautiful route. Traveling from Chattanooga to Nashville provides truly stunning scenery, fascinating history, fantastic music, and charming ports of call. How lucky we are to get to explore so many interesting places in America! One of those places along the Tennessee River is the Civil War Shiloh Battlefield outside of Savannah, Tennessee.
