American Civil War Game Club (ACWGC)

The Battle of Carthage, fought on July 5, 1861, was one of the earliest engagements in the Civil War. The battle pitted the Missouri State Guard, a pro-Southern force under the command of Claiborne Fox Jackson, against a Union regiment under the command of Col. Franz Sigel. The historic site includes the Carter Spring area, where Sigel's troops camped on the night of July 4, 1861.

The July 9 event is being held in conjunction with City of Carthage's Civil War Commemoration Ceremony, which features events throughout the town.
