5. Back of Latta House and Cellar
The Latta house was not on the ridge during the battle of Prairie Grove. However four other houses were. Many residents hid in the nearby Morton house in a cellar (about 2000 yards west of the park visitor center). That cellar was likely similar to the Latta cellar seen here (low structure just beside the house)
