Camp Van Dorn WW II Museum Books The Museum has collected 100 of the weekly columns published in local newspapers over the past three years. Some of the columns are about the museum, some are stories about Camp Van Dorn veterans, some are about the camp itself, and others are about the war years. Most are illustrated with objects, documents, and photographs taken from museum collections. The books are spiral bound and sell for $15.00 each, plus $2.50 for postage if mailed. Anyone who appreciates history or who has any interest in Camp Van Dorn or the museum should enjoy these brief stories.
