Union Civil War Prisons

During the Civil War, over 400,000 Union and Confederate soldiers were held prisoner at more than 150 different prison sites. Approximately 56,000 of these died in captivity. Although Andersonville is the most famous Civil War prison, it is only one of many Civil War military prisons that are preserved by the National Park Service. Today Andersonville National Historic Site tells the story of all American prisoners of war. Elmira Prison (New York) Battlefields.org tells the horrific details of Civil War Prison Camps. Take Elmira Prison, “also known as “Hellmira,” opened in July of 1864. It quickly became infamous for its staggering death rate and unfathoomable living conditions due to the Commissary General of Prisoners, Col. William Hoffman.

Days Gone By: Images of the Fort Massachusetts replica from The Eagle s Archives

In 1933, the North Adams Women s Club opened an exact replica of Fort Massachusetts, which was built on its original site in North Adams with the aid of a WPA grant. Unable to financially sustain the fort as a tourist attraction, the club sold it to private owners in 1945 and it was used in part, as a restaurant. The buildings eventually fell into disrepair and were torn down piece by piece. In 1973, at the request of Central Markets which owned the land at that time, the remaining building was torn down. The site is now marked by a memorial plaque and the remains of the replica fort s chimney.
