National Park Service Ranger Steve Phan will be at the Sherman House Museum for a presentation on Camp Nelson in Nicholasville, Kentucky. Established in 1863, the camp served as a U.S. Army fortified base, supply depot, and hospital.
Camp Nelson later became one of the nation’s largest recruitment and training centers for Black soldiers during the Civil War and also served as a refugee camp for their wives and children.
Today, Camp Nelson is preserved as a national monument.
Come hear about this incredible historic site in Kentucky.
