Brices Cross Roads was fought five miles west of Baldwyn.
The Brices Cross Roads Visitor and Interpretive Center is located close to the intersection of US Highway 45 to Mississippi Highway 370. The visitor center's "Forrest's Finest Hour" exhibit tells the story of the battle, the opposing armies, and the leaders and personalities involved.
