Check out some other attractions in the Carthage area when you visit Carthageg for the 2024 reenactment. The Civil War Museum, just off the north side of the Carthage square, is always interesting and you will learn more about how the Civil War impacted Carthage. The Kendrick Place was built prior to the beginning of the Civil War and was one of the few homes in Jasper County that remained standing after the war. The Battle of Carthage State Historic Site, located on East Chestnut Street in Carthage is a nicely preserved tribute to the Battle of Carthage. The site contains a quiet meadow and the spring that made the area an encampment for both the Union and Confederate troops during the battle. The area is little changed in its appearance since the battle was fought on July 5, 1861. Carthage also contains many beautiful homes and businesses to visit. We hope you will check out the city while you are here.
