First ACW battlefield was, i think, Chickamauga with my Scout Troop.
First "battlefield" was Horseshoe Bend, also with my Scout Troop.

My first battlefield was Valley Forge. Great memories of going there as a child. My first ACW battlefield was Gettysburg. I have visited Gettysburg 2 or 3 times and learn something new each time. I’m planning on making another trip.

The Battle (skirmish?) of Corydon. Indiana Home Guard units took on John Hunt Morgan and his raiders after they crossed the Ohio River in July 1863. I grew up just down the road from there.

My first significant battlefield was Fort Ticonderoga in summer 1978.
