Troops in Lewis County

My Dad (now deceased) bought a broken down farm of 325 acres in Lewis Co in 1965. This is about 25 mi. W. of Quincy IL. He always told me (common lore i guess) that there was a Civil War encampment site on one end of this property. He didn't say Union or Confederate.. Could this be possible? If it is i might do some searching with my detector....
