Summary
This is an abstract from the "Military Sites" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Camp Crowder is a Missouri Army National Guard Training Site located in Neosho, Missouri. Originally called Fort Crowder, it was built in 1941 as a training site for the US Army Signal Corps. The Army acquired individual properties in 1938 and construction of the camp started in early 1940. Numerous farmsteads were left abandoned throughout the southern portion of Camp Crower. The remnants and artifacts of these sites provide a unique view into the lives of rural Missourians in the early 20th century.
