Building 600, 1943. The small building in the
foreground is now where the new grand entrance is for the new Kendall Inn, a
wonderful use for this grand old building. The Garrison shown with it's
foundation being built in the background was built by German POW's. The initial
building #600 was built along with the first 30 buildings on the post by 1908
and added to over time. Notice the Red Cross's on the roof? They served to
notice hostile forces not to bomb this facility. |
![]() Camp Glenn 711, Now the History Nature Center. This photo was taken back when the US Army still operated a youth center in this building #711. |
![]() This shows the layout of the buildings and tent pads as Camp Glenn used to look well before the 700 series numbers were used. The top of the map is West. Building 172 is now 711 and the History Nature Center. This was established to house the CMTC camps and 5 young men per tent on each pad were stationed there. Later this area became home to Italian and German POW's and much more. Visit the area's history center to find out! |
