92: Camp Nelson, Tour One of the Nation's Newest National Parks

Initially established as a Union railroad hub and hospital, Camp Nelson evolved into one of the largest recruiting and training centers for United States Colored Troops during the Civil War. Additionally, the site served as a refugee camp for these soldiers and their families. In 2018, Camp Nelson officially became Camp Nelson National Monument, the 418th unit of the National Park Service. Join Garry Adelman and Ranger Steve Phan for a tour.
