Camp Hearne, located north of Hearne, Texas, was a World War II Prisoner-of-War Camp that played a significant role in housing German POWs during the conflict. Established due to favorable geographical conditions, the camp provided a secure environment where prisoners were treated well, with access to food, shelter, and recreational programs that fostered a sense of community among them.

Today, Camp Hearne serves as a historic site and exhibit, showcasing the daily life of its former inmates through various remnants, including building foundations and prisoner-built amenities. Visitors can explore the camp's original footprint and learn about the experiences of the soldiers who were held there, making it a vital educational resource for understanding WWII history.
