Five Minute Histories: Camp Small

For many years Camp Small was a dumping ground for the trees that came from the City’s streets and parks. But for the last several years, it’s been a hub of innovation, turning those same trees into valuable products like mulch, firewood and hardwood for furniture. If you are following along realtime, you know that Camp Small had a tremendous fire last week. We hope that it gets back up and running quickly! Join us today to learn about its beginnings as a Union encampment during the Civil War and how it evolved into a wood recycling center in the 20th century. Thanks for watching and see you next week with another video! This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. #baltimore #fiveminhist #CivilWar #railroadhistory #woodrecycling
