SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Camp Security Na-
tional Historic Site Study Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following:
(1) Camp Security is believed to be the only un-
disturbed prisoner-of-war camp from the Revolu-
tionary War remaining in the United States. 
(2) Built at the direction of the Continental 
Congress, Camp Security housed over 1,000 British 
prisoners of war between 1781 and 1783. 
(3) The vast majority of British soldiers impris-
oned at Camp Security were captured as a result of 
the Continental Army’s pivotal victories at the Bat-
tles of Saratoga and Yorktown. 
(4) Large portions of Camp Security were built 
along a steep hill using terraces, a unique architec-
tural and earthwork feature. 
(5) Upon the 1783 adoption of the Treaty of 
Paris, Camp Security was closed and those prisoners 
who did not marry local women and settle in the 
area returned to their families in Great Britain. 
(6) Recent excavations and surveys of the site 
identified intact archeological deposits and recovered 
numerous domestic and military artifacts. 
SEC. 3. STUDY.

submit to the Committee on Resources of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Nat-
