Camel Barns

Built in 1853 and 1854 Cost $10,000 and $12,000

These finely crafted sandstone buildings were originally constructed for use as warehouses. They gained their name and fame, however, during a brief period in 1863-64 when they were used to stable a herd of camels imported by the U.S. Army for transportation in the American desert.

Marker can be reached from Park Road.
