Know Before You Go
Historic Camden’s mission is to protect, educate and celebrate Camden’s extraordinary Colonial and American Revolutionary War history. We work to uphold our mission in a number of ways. Offering visitors the opportunity to engage in history through demonstrations like blacksmithing or brickmaking, hearing our farm manager discuss 18th-century agriculture, or touring our historic homes, helps to protect and educate those in the generations to come. These are only a few of the many ways in which we work to achieve our mission.
The Revolutionary War Park in Historic Camden encompasses 7 historic buildings, a reproduction forge and dogtrot, an artillery and redoubt, a historic Conestoga Wagon, a Revolutionary War Visitor Center, and the Camden Battlefield.

Things To Do
THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR PARK
When visiting Historic Camden guests will find a number of historic homes awaiting them. Most of these structures are original and were relocated to our site for preservation and display. The forge and dogtrot are reproductions, both built in their respective 18th and 19th century architectural styles. We are happy and proud to serve as stewards for these buildings, working to preserve them and their history for everyone to appreciate.
The Southeast Redoubt is going through total restoration of its earthworks. Along with the construction of a blockhouse and the addition a working British 3.5 Howitzer on a field carriage, and a working French 6-pounder called “La Populaire” on a field carriage.
The body of our Conestoga wagon was built in the late 1700’s. At Historic Camden the public doesn’t just get to see a real Conestoga Wagon but they can ride in it.
