Carthage Bed and Breakfasts

Carthage is located in Jasper county. Stay in a Carthage bed and breakfast and visit the site of the Battle of Carthage, the first official battle of the US Civil War. A night's rest in a Carthage inn or B&B is perfect before heading out to the annual Maple Leaf Festival, held every October, featuring parades, music and locally made goods. Get your kicks on Route 66, following the original course of the highway as it comes through town. Carthage is also the home of the Precious Moments Park and Chapel. The Chapel attracts tourists with paintings and oversized depictions of the popular porcelain figurines. Visit Bamboo Gardens for "the best Chinese cashew chicken in Carthage." Wake up at daybreak and stop by the Pancake Hut for, what the locals call, "some of the best pancakes on the planet."
