Prior to the Civil War the town of Monterey was made up of a Methodist Church, 12 homes and a brick academy. In 1861 Confederate General Henry R. Jackson established his headquarters here. Union General Robert Milroy and his men occupied Monterey on April 6, 1862.
In 1861 the church suspended services and was used as a hospital for Confederate troops.
The two homes below were also used as temporary hospitals.
