Before the 1860s, cricket boasted roughly a thousand clubs and was played in around 20 states. Southern cities like Savannah, Georgia, actively formed cricket clubs in 1859, just before the outbreak of hostilities. A prominent English professional team toured the United States in 1859, further cementing the sport's footprint.

Last fall I played a couple of cricket matches on the Bowling Green at Mount Vernon. It was a pick up match with kids and adults during their Colonial Days events. Living history instructors guided us. It was a BLAST!
