Free ebook from Gutenberg - Andersonville
Andersonville was the site of Camp Sumter, the worst of the worst Confederate prison camps. Almost 13,000 of the more than 45,000 Union prisoners who were confined here, died and were buried shoulder to shoulder in long trenches dug by fellow inmates. The historic site includes the cemetery, prison camp location and the National Prisoner of War Museum.
Most of the museum is accessible. A few of the exhibits are a little too high to view easily. Some of the short film clips are hard to see because of the angle of the screen. The prison camp area, most of the informative signs and the cemetery can be viewed without leaving your vehicle. A free audio tour can be checked out at the museum information desk.
The parking lot has long RV spaces. They’re in a lower level of the lot so it’s a bit of a push up the road to the museum entrance. Historic Site
