Great museum. A lot of free brochures (great for homeschoolers!). Friendly docent. Informative exhibits. There is a movie in the back room. Worth the stop. Clean restrooms.

Camp Nelson National Monument

Camp Nelson National Monument in Nicholasville, KY, was established by the U.S. Army in April 1863 as a fortified supply depot and evolved into a significant recruitment and training center for United States Colored Troops during the Civil War. It also served as a refuge for civilians fleeing the conflict and for enslaved individuals seeking freedom. The monument commemorates the history of Camp Nelson, where over 10,000 formerly enslaved men became soldiers between 1864 and 1865. Visitors can explore nearly five miles of trails and participate in ranger-led tours to learn about the site’s pivotal role in the fight against slavery. Generated from the website
