Stayer, Historical Researcher, Friends of Camp Security, will describe the establishment and operation of the Revolutionary War encampment in York County, PA that held British prisoners captured at the battles of Saratoga and Yorktown. Recent efforts to preserve the site, research its history, and explore it archaeologically will also be discussed.
