Before beginning a tour of the Horseshoe Bend National Battlefield, stop at the Battlefield Overlook, the general location where Andrew Jackson and his army first came onto the battlefield around 10 AM on the morning of March 27, 1814. From here you can see the battlefield exactly as Jackson saw it, minus the Indians of course. The white posts in the far distance mark the location of the Red Sticks’ barricade.
