Our History
On 14 October John Hunt Morgans army on full retreat form Perryville Ky came to rest in a farm in the middle of Lancsater,
upon request from the owner his men did not take the best feed for the animals just what was left in the fields. As
morning came cannons rang out over the town the from the 1st Union Reg. Calv. with inf. and two batteries attatched.
Morgan engaged his Calv. and inf. After hours of battle in sun both sides pulld out of town. The Confederats to
the Richmond area the Union back to Camp Dick Robinson area. In 1862 however Lancaster was in REBEL control, the
American Flag took form the court house and the First National Confederat Flag went up. In early 1863 the tide had changed
and the Federal Army had taken Lancaster back.
