Blazing NoodlezExpect the unexpected.
Thai cuisine is probably the last dining
experience you would expect to find in
a small town like Corinth, but Corinth is
full of surprises and the Blazing Noodelz is a
local favorite you wont want to miss.
Chef Lynn was born in Bangkok Thailand and
raised in Uttaradit in the Northern country
side. Her family have Rice, Papaya, and
Coconut farms. Cooking has always been
a central aspect of rural Thai family life, soshe started helping her mother and aunt
prepare meals by the age of six. Her cooking
is basically the country style of Thai cuisine, it
emphasizes balance of the five basic flavors,
fresh ingredients, and homemade sauces
that are permeated with herbal flavors and
packed with flavor. Her husband Matt has
worked around Thai food as a server and chef
for 13 years, he has lots of practice helping
people new to Thai food find something
that theyll enjoy and even helping the Thai
cuisine aficionado find a pleasant surprise or
two from one of the unique rural dishes that
Blazing Noodlez offers. Just a quick survey
online will show how much the customers
of Blazing Noodlez appreciate the food, rave
reviews abound on Yelp, Urban Spoon and
Foursquare.

Located at the site of Battery Robinett, a Union fort that fell
under Confederate attack during the Battle of Corinth, theCorinth Civil War Interpretive Center provides interactive
displays, information, audio visual presentations and other
interpretive displays to help visitors better understand
Corinths role during the Civil War.
Operated by the National Park Service as a unit of Shiloh
National Battlefield, the center is part of a growing project
to preserve key Civil War sites in and around the city of
Corinth.
The city was the base for the Confederate army that fought
at the Battle of Shiloh, but fell to Union troops following
that vicious engagement. Another Southern army led by
Generals Earl Van Dorn and Sterling Price attemped toretake the vital rail crossing in the fall of 1862. The Battle
of Corinth was a bloody Union victory that took the lives of
more than 1,700 men.
The Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center occupies a key
part of the Corinth battlefield. The hill top immediately
behind the center was the site of Battery Robinett, a Union
fort that was overwhelmed by Confederate troops during
the battle. Monuments and interpretive markers dot the
landscape providing detail on the fighting that took place
on this hallowed ground.

As Federal forces occupied major portions of the South,
enslaved people escaped from farms and plantations and
fled to safety behind Union lines. Once President Abraham
Lincolns Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation wasissued in September 1862, the number of freedom seekers
increased considerably in Union occupied Corinth.
The Corinth Contraband Camp was established by Union
General Grenville M. Dodge to accommodate these
refugees. The camp featured numerous homes, a church,
school and hospital. The freedmen cultivated and sold
cotton and vegetables in a progressive cooperative farm
program. By May 1863, the camp was making a clear profit
of $4,000 to $5,000 from it enterprises. By August, over
1,000 African American children and adults gained the
ability to read through the efforts of various benevolent
organizations. Although the camp had a modest beginning,
it became a model camp and allowed for approximately6,000 ex-slaves to establish their own individual identities.
The Corinth Contraband Camp was the first step on
the road to freedom and the struggle for equality for
thousands of former slaves. Today a portion of the historic
Corinth Contraband Camp is preserved to commemorate
those who began their journey to freedom there in 1862-
1863. This land now hosts a quarter mile walkway which
exhibits six life-size bronze sculptures depicting the men,
women, and children who inhabited the camp.
