Battle of Carthage – Civil War Museum

Carthage MO

April 26, 2025

The Battle of Carthage State Historic Site can be described as a nice little park with a little big of history. There is ample parking and three picnic tables but no facilities or trash bins. There is plenty of room if someone wanted to play from frisbee, catch, soccer, or tag. There is a nice open area for playing but no play equipment. There is a very short path about .2 miles that will take you around the little stream that is there. It is a nice peaceful and quiet park.

Be sure to check out the kiosk which tells of the battle that took place in Carthage.

If you have time, you might also stop in a visit the Civil War Museum just off the square in Carthage. There is a short informative movie about the battle that happened in the area and has some nice displays as well. The personnel were very friendly and full of lots of information.

Overall, a nice but short outing in between rain storms.
