Artist in Residence Carson Colenbaugh is a writer and ecologist who cares deeply about protecting battlefields and exploring how nature and history come together. Carson is using his time at Stones River National Battlefield to explore his connection to the Battle of Stones River through his ancestor, J.E. Harrison. He is also learning about the plants and animals that live on the battlefield.

Carson will be at the Stones River National Battlefield Visitor Center located at 3501 Old Nashville Highway in Murfreesboro at 1:00 Saturday November 14th for Battlefield Ecology: Past and Present, to learn more about his project.
