About this campground
At the National Prisoner of War Museum, the story of American prisoners of war (POWs) is powerfully presented through exhibits, audio-visual displays, and historic artifacts. The museum serves as the park's visitor center. You can find information, audio tours, and a gift shop with items about Andersonville, the Civil War, and POWs of other American wars. The museum has a theater where you can view two 30-minute films, including one about Andersonville and one about all American POWs.
