In the years during and following the Civil War, the name of the small Georgia community of Andersonville was forever etched in the consciousness of America. The
community was the home of a Confederate prison, officially named Camp Sumter, where thousands of Union soldiers suffered and died. Andersonville was not the
only such prison. They existed in North and South and almost all were equally bad. It is, however, one of the best preserved such sites.
Today Andersonville is the home of the National Prisoner of War Museum and serves as a lasting memorial to all Americans who have suffered in prison camps
around the world. The frame below provides you with access to the official National Park Service website for Andersonville National Historic Site:
