Camp Dennison played a very important role in the during the Civil War ...
Discovering an important slice of history ... April 27, 1861 marked the establishment of Camp Dennison under the command of Major General George B. McClellan, at the behest of Governor William Dennison. This camp became a pivotal hub for mustering, training, and discharging volunteer soldiers during the Civil War era. It witnessed the passage of an estimated 75,000 to 100,000 Union soldiers throughout the conflict. Notably, the addition of a hospital in April 1862 equipped with 2,300 beds made Camp Dennison home to one of the largest military medical facilities in the Union.
The camp included approximately five hundred acres of land near the Little Miami River and the Little Miami Railroad. The river and railroad line allowed authorities to ship volunteers and supplies to the camp quickly and easily. General George McClellan authorized the camp’s location, and Colonel William Rosecrans oversaw the camp’s construction, including barracks that would house a grand total of fifty thousand men over the course of the Civil War and a hospital that provided care to at least 2,300 wounded or ill soldiers. Camp Dennison also included a small prisoner of war camp. Most prisoners remained at Camp Dennison for only a brief time, before Northern authorities sent them to other prisoner of war installations located at Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio or to Johnson’s Island in Lake Erie. At least thirty-one Confederate soldiers died in the camp.
Camp Dennison remained in operation until the war’s conclusion in April 1865, at which time authorities abandoned the camp,
