(8-3-2001) Looking across the island from the
north side. The remnants of the wall of the camp is just behind the sign
(with bushes), main gate at left. The wall was very short - it was used as
a "dead line" rather than a barrier

Enlarge UDC HQ Doors
This enormous set of ornate bronze doors was donated to the UDC by the
Children of the Confederacy, which is a group sponsored by the UDC for both
male and female children who are the descendants of Confederates. The bronze
doors are rarely used due to their enormous size. Entrance to the building
is usually from side access doors and intercom. Notice engraved in the
stonework above the doors is the name United Daughters of the Confederacy
