I visited Mill Springs in 1998 and again in 2016. The local organization has done an incredible job of fixing up the site and adding to it. The battlefield is much more understandable now than it was back then. In addition, they have added a visitor's center with some interesting displays. Worth a visit if you're in southern Kentucky .
