From 1781 through the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783, Camp Security housed British and other prisoners of war. On April 20, 2013, the
Friends of Camp Security are raising funds to preserve the remarkable historic site.
Christina Kauffman reports for The York Dispatch that the April 20 fundraiser will display a sample of the more than 10,000 artifacts recovered in a 1979 archaeological dig at the Camp Security site. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission will loan the sample of artifacts for the event.
