Location Macon, GA, United States
Modern Address Fair Grounds
Description

The Fair Grounds appear to have been on the site of the Civil War Camp Oglethorpe, near/at/just west of the modern Fair Grounds, below 7th St. 

A map of Macon, showing Camp Oglethorpe, is in Bragg's "Joe Brown's Pets" p.52. The map also shows the wartime era race course.

The Feb. 1860 Benedicts/Bachelor's game, and most others were played there.
