Andersonville Prison 
-
The Andersonville National Historic Site, located near Andersonville, Georgia, preserves
the former Andersonville Prison (also
known as Camp Sumter), a Confederate prisoner-of-war
camp during
the final fourteen months of the American Civil War. Most of the
site lies in southwestern Macon
County,
adjacent to the east side of the town of Andersonville. As well as the former
prison, the site contains the Andersonville National Cemetery and the National
Prisoner of War Museum. The prison was created in February 1864 and served to
April 1865. The site was commanded by Captain Henry Wirz, who was tried and executed after
the war for war crimes. It was overcrowded to four times
its capacity, with an inadequate water supply, inadequate food, and unsanitary
conditions. Of the approximately 45,000 Union prisoners held at Camp Sumter during
the war, nearly 13,000 died. The chief causes of death were scurvy, diarrhea and dysentery.

Andersonville National Historic Site - Andersonville National
Historic Site pays tribute to all American prisoners of war. The Park has three
features: the National Prisoner of War Museum, the site of the Andersonville
prison, and the Andersonville National Cemetery.
