Camp Security, York County, PA - One of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places 2005

Camp Security, York, County PA "Only a handful of prisoner-of-war camps were established during the Revolutionary War, and today Camp Security is the only one of these sites that remains largely untouched. Between 1781 and the end of the war in 1783, more than 1,500 captured British soldiers and their families were confined at Camp Security, which included both a prison stockade and a “village� of log huts."
