Lecture & Dinner Series: Camp Smith

Camp Smith was a temporary military fortification located on the grounds of Heritage Hill State Park. Construction of the cantonment occurred between 1820 and 1822 by U.S. Army troops from Fort Howard. The ill-fated camp was intended to replace Fort Howard. However, work at the site on the ridge overlooking Fox River was terminated two years after it began.
