Finding Camp Security
Donation protected
Camp Security was a Revolutionary War camp where English, Scots and Canadian prisoners were held after surrendering during the war.
This remarkable 160 acre historical site in York, Pennsylvania has been preserved from development but never thoroughly explored.
It costs approximately $25,000 and 60 volunteers each summer to excavate and search for the details of where and how people lived in this camp. It's thought that as many as 2500 soldiers and their families lived here.
The funds we raise at GoFundMe will be entirely spent on these archaeological digs and will provide funding for summer excavations in 2017 and 2018.
Please help preserve and commemorate this important US historical site.
