Camp Chase was one of Ohio's largest Civil War sites. If you take a look at a map before visiting you can still tell where most of the camp sat. The cemetery of confederate prisoners who died there has been well preserved and cared for. A bit off the beaten path and easy to miss as you drive down the... More

Stopped here on a whim as my grandson is studying the Civil War. He was very interested in knowing that it is primarily a confederate cemetery since Ohio was part of the Union, and that the camp was used for confederate prisoners. If you're a history buff it's pretty cool.

Read up on your history prior to visiting to get the most out of your experience. Very interesting piece of Civil War history. Self guided. Some signage. Will not be crowded.

It's hard to believe this place is not haunted. I've been visiting since a small child and each time, I have had that feeling that the place is full of people dying to get out ;-)

But those who appreciate this kind of experience will enjoy the solitude carved into a slightly rougher part of Columbus. The grounds are well cared for and parking is... More

Camp Chase is simply a cemetary of Confederate POW's. However, the historical marker there gives more details about Camp Chase than just being POW camp for confederate soldiers. Not much to see or do and no place to park. Interesting to know it is well maintained by the Veteran's Administration.

Camp Chase Cemetery sits in an area surrounded by neightborhoods on the west side of Columbus, Ohio. That whole neighborhood was a prison camp during the civil war. Today the area is known as Westgate. Many years ago, I lived in Westgate near the park, but I didn't know about the historical aspect of the area. It's a shame that... More

When brothers fought against brothers. May we always remember the soldiers buried here. When visiting please respect the deceased.

This is a prisoner of war camp from the Civil War. It is now a cemetery dedicated to all who fought. The gate is on Sullivant Avenue. Once you enter you see burial markers right at your feet. I did not linger, but was taken aback as to how many graves that are here. not hard to get to, but... More
