Caption: Camp Lawton First Impressions (interpretive plaque inside Camp Lawton Museum)
Additional Description: When transferred from Andersonville, prisoners were put in railcars and transported directly to Camp Lawton but some were sent to Savannah and then on to Camp Lawton. Some of the features noted by the prisoners were: the layout of the prison was very similar to Andersonville, although much larger, the logs making up the stockade were still covered in bark (they were hewn at Andersonville); and the water flowing from the spring just east of the stockade was considered far superior.
