Often during the real Civil war, spectators brought picnic baskets and came out to watch the conflict. CHP members and their families will have front row viewing of the battle in Central Park during the Sesquicentennial Battle of Carthage Reenactment. Bring a lawn chair to reserve your viewing spot. Period attire encouraged.

Parking will be reserved for CHP members. For information call 358-9688
