Located Camp Brandywine
This sign is near a what is now a shopping center in Greenville, Delaware, right next to Route 52. It marks the location where 'Camp Brandywine' was. This was the camp of instruction where the Delaware Volunteer Infantries reported for school of the soldier from 1861-62. Afterwards a Pennsylvania regiment was garrisoned here for the purpose of guarding the DuPont powder mills on the Brandywine River.
It's now a parking lot for retail stores.
