For the first ten months of the war, most Indianans trained at Camp Morton.
But, other camps were needed.
CAMP CARRINGTON-- at 15th and Missouri became the primary training center after Camp Morton became a Confederate prisoner of war camp.
CAMP FREMONT-- near Fountain Square, trained the first black regiment, the 28th.
CAMP ROBINSON-- One of only two camp sites remaining. Marked by a grove of trees on White River just north of the Municipal Gardens on Cold Springs Road.
The other remaining site is at the military park.
