Camp Gordon Johnston opened in 1942 for the sole purpose of training amphibious soldiers and their support groups. This camp trained a quarter of a million men, closing in June of 1946. Three infantry divisions and two special brigades left here after training to confront tyranny both in Europe and the Pacific. Learn about their dedication, fears and heroism at our museum.
