Camp Brandywine

New Castle County · dedicated 1966 · 3705 Kennett Pike, Greenville

In the Civil War the first camp of this name was at Wilmington Fair Grounds for the First and Second Delaware Regiments. The same name was given this site in September, 1862 for a camp of Pennsylvania troops sent to guard the powder mills. They were relieved by the Fourth Delaware Regiment the next month when the site was known briefly as Camp DuPont then later as Camp Brandywine.
