Event Information

In conjunction with the Lexington Missouri State Battlefield, The Croaker Mess is proud to announce our roll in the 165th Anniversary Battle of Lexington, Missouri. 

We’ll be working hand in hand with park officials to host the “Assault on the Anderson House.” 

With our friends in the Holme’s Brigade and quality living historians from across the Mid-West, we’re taking on our biggest challenge yet! This event will take place on the original ground, with documented historical scenarios, and feature some of the most unique experiences ever witnessed in our hobby. 

Our main focus will concentrate on raising Missouri State Guard troops and a full size company of the 23rd Illinois Infantry, “Mulligan’s Irish Brigade.”
