History

We Have a Long History
Carthage, Missouri, was the site of one of the earliest land battles of the Civil War, with several skirmishes taking place along the roads leading into town.
Civil War Arena has been a familiar part of the community for many years. After a period of being used for other purposes, Bruce and Chris Westwood saw something worth bringing back and decided to put the arena to work again doing what it was meant to do. It’s a place with a bit of history behind it—and now, it’s a place for folks to gather again.
