Camp Greene Publications

Day-to-day life at Camp Greene was doucumented by the soldiers themselves. The Carolina Room is fortunate to own issues of periodicals published by doctors, engineers, and mechanics training at Camp Greene. The Caduceus, published by the camp's Medical unit, Trench and Camp, a special edition of the Observer, and other publications may be read at the Library. To give visitors to our website a glimpse of camp life, we have uploaded issues of The Propeller, the publication of the Motor Mechanics regiment, whose members serviced airplanes:

Museum Looking South & East

Standing along the south wall of the museum is another mannequin in a different World War I uniform. On the wall is a map of Camp Greene and a plaque describing how Charlotte's city fathers went to great lengths to compete with Wilmington and Fayetteville, North Carolina as well as Athens, Georgia to acquire a military camp.
