Perryville became a strategic outpost in Indian Territory for both sides during the Civil War, and the town saw the Battle of Honey Springs on July 17, 1863 (Civil War). The town was evacuated during the Battle, and some buildings were demolished by artillery fire. Colbert Institute had been entirely burned during the Battle, having been used as a military camp, and was unfit for school purposes. | Perryville became a strategic outpost in Indian Territory for both sides during the Civil War, and the town saw the Battle of Honey Springs on July 17, 1863 (Civil War).
