Camp Recovery

On the east side of Flint River, twenty-one miles southwest is the site of Camp Recovery, established during the First Seminole Indian War as a hospital base to which the sick soldiers from Fort Scott were sent to recover. A Federal Monument on the site marks the burial place of U.S. officers and soldiers who died during the hostilities in the Flint and Chattahoochee River Counties 1817-1821.

Marker is at the intersection of East Shotwell Street (Business U.S. 84) and Broad Street (Business U.S. 27), on the right when traveling west on East Shotwell Street.
