Camp Security

Camp Security was a prison camp built in 1781 to detain British troops surrendered by Gen. Burgoyne at Saratoga, N.Y., and their families. Prisoners captured at Yorktown, Va., arrived later. York County militia and Continental troops guarded the camp until operations ceased at the end of the American Revolution in 1783. The camp consisted of log huts and a large stockade, and archaeological evidence confirmed its location less than a mile to the south.
