Camp Nelson National Monument, formerly the Camp Nelson Civil War Heritage Park, is a 525-acre national monument, historical museum and park located in southern Jessamine County, about 75 miles northeast of Columbia.
The American Civil War era camp was established in 1863 as a depot for the Union Army during the Civil War. It became a recruiting ground for new soldiers from Eastern Tennessee and enslaved people, many of whom had fled their living conditions to be soldiers. On October 26, 2018, President Donald Trump proclaimed the site as Camp Nelson National Monument, the 418th unit of the National Park Service (NPS) system. (Wikipedia). Comments | Permalink
