Camp Comment

I think that it's a great idea to preserve a historic site to tell about soldier's lives. We usually learn something of the past by uncovering, let's say, artifacts and studying them. And if you preserve them, then I'm sure other people would love to come and see those artifacts. The discovery of certain artifacts usuallly leads to other conclusions and reveals a great deal of history. And this would be the result here since Friends group has decided to preserve a historical site, in our backyard! People would learn more and more about Stafford. And you have to admit, it is way more interesting to actually see history than to hear or read it. I'm pretty sure that when the Civil War camps are opened for the public to see, there will be many people wanting to see them.

I think that since the County and C.T. Park Inc. are working together on preserving the Civil War camps, the sites will be dealt with carely and I'm sure that the outcome will be great.

So first we learned that Pocahontas and them had lived in Stafford and now we learn that Stafford was a Civil War camp. Pretty surprising. What's in store for us next?
