As we can see with this video, time can heal tragedy. The Borden Apple Orchard is some of the most hallowed ground at Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park and it offers visitors a chance to connect with a landscape that witnessed the shaping of our nation.

Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in northwest Arkansas protects nearly 1,000 acres of the Prairie Grove Battlefield and interprets the history of Arkansans impacted by the Civil War. We hope that you enjoy this exploration of one of the park’s 19th-century buildings and discover what everyday life was like for those living in the Civil War era Ozarks.

Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park's structures and landscapes prove history happened here and reveal stories of our heritage. No structure is more iconic at Prairie Grove Battlefield than the historic Borden House, the only structure original to the battlefield.
