SUMMARY:Honey Springs Battlefield Memorial Service
DESCRIPTION:Honey Springs Battlefield will hold its annual memorial service on Saturday\, July 19\, at 10:30 a.m.\, to honor the 162nd anniversary of the Battle of Honey Springs near Checotah. This year’s event will include remarks from OHS Executive Director Trait Thompson and a presentation by Dr. Matthew Pearce\, state historian for the OHS. There will also be an artillery salute\, and much more! See the full schedule below. \nThe service commemorates the largest of approximately 107 documented Civil War military engagements throughout Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. The engagement took place at the Honey Springs settlement\, Muscogee (Creek) Nation\, on July 17\, 1863\, just two weeks after the famous Battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Approximately 9\,000 Union and Confederate troops\, mostly Native and African Americans\, were involved in the Battle of Honey Springs. Of those\, approximately 200 total casualties were suffered. After a decisive Union victory\, Confederates lost control of Indian Territory north of the Arkansas River. The Union victory also ensured Federal control of Fort Gibson in Indian Territory and Fort Smith in Arkansas. \nFor more information regarding the memorial service and Honey Springs Battlefield\, call 918-617-7125.
