A quiet crossroads on the way to Shiloh country.
Stantonville is one of McNairy County's small eastern towns, set in the farm country between Selmer and the Shiloh battlefield area. It's the kind of place where the roads are quiet, the churches are full on Sunday, and the pace resets to something saner.
For visitors, Stantonville works as a scenic waypoint: the drive through this corner of the county strings together Civil War country, back-road Tennessee, and some of the area's prettiest farmland.
The battlefield and its surrounding historic landscape are an easy drive east.
