The Bassett camp, one of eight prisoner of war camps in Mississippi County, housed German soldiers captured and shipped to the United States during World War II. During their captivity, the prisoners worked in the cotton fields, and several took up agriculture after returning to Germany after the war. Concrete columns from the camp's entrance still stand.
