Oklahoma might not be as rich in Civil War history as Pennsylvania or Virginia, however, there were significant battles and forts in Indian Territory and the surrounding area. Just a few of these include:

Battle of Honey Springs: Fought July 17, 1863, between Union soldiers led by Gen. James Blunt and Confederate soldiers led by Gen. Douglas Cooper.

Battle of Middle Boggy Depot: Fought on Feb. 13, 1864, this battle saw the Union troops of Maj. Charles Willette victorious over the Confederate forces of Col. John Jumper.

For more information, locations, and hours of the forts and battle grounds, look up the battles on the battle map or in our Battles section...
