Generals Breakfast Storytelling Brings the Past to Life at Cherry Mansion in Savannah

SAVANNAH, Tenn. – The Generals Breakfast takes place 9 a.m. March 31 on the lawn at Cherry Mansion. This event is one of many being held during the 156th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh.

Cherry Mansion came of note during the Civil War when General Ulysses S. Grant made his headquarters at the home during the Battle of Shiloh.

Tickets for the event are $15 each and include a continental breakfast, a storytelling program by the attending Generals, and a tour of Cherry Mansion. Tours are for breakfast ticket holders only and are immediately following the breakfast performance.

The day continues by offering a visit to the Tennessee River Museum in downtown Savannah. Guests are encouraged to follow in Grant’s footsteps, taking the trip across the river to Shiloh National Military Park.

Battlefield Hikes, car caravans, and interpretive events will be presented during the anniversary week of April 5-7 at Shiloh National Military Park.
