Cabin Creek battlefield

Two American Civil War military engagements were fought at the Cabin Creek battlefield in the Cherokee Nation within Indian Territory.

That was when the Vinita Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) decided to buy a 10 acres (4.0 ha) plot of ground that now considered the core of the battlefield.

The OHS created a circle drive within the park and added some small monuments that commemorated the battle positions of the two forces.

A day-use only policy was put into effect, with the park gates unlocked in the morning and locked in the evenings 365 days a year.
