 David when you go to Honey Springs make sure you are not there on a Monday when the small visitors center is closed.  I of course was there in the pouring rain on Monday.  

David there are not many signs pointing your way to Honey Springs it is way out of town.  Just keep going .  You will also go by the birthplace of John Hope Franklin.  Historian.  The Militant South was one of the first books I read on the Civil War during my college years.  It is still on my shelf. 

The battlefield is interesting to see.  I didn't see much because of the pouring rain but I was impressed with what they are doing there. 

Have a great trip.  I saw the Wilson Creek Chili dinner listed and though what fun wish I was in Springfield .  I love Wilson Creek .  It is one of my favorite battlefields.
