Living History Volunteers
Living history volunteers pose as Union Prisoners of War NPS/Andersonville National Historic Site Living History volunteers provide visitors with special programs and events throughout the year, assisting visitors in better understanding the prisoner of war experience at Camp Sumter during the Civil War. While living history can be done throughout the year, the park hosts three annual programs with a strong living history component. We also encourage groups interested in presenting programs at other times to contact us.
