GARLAND-RODES CAMP (LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA)
Work began in June 1887 to establish a Confederate veteran's camp in Lynchburg,
Virginia. On 28 April 1888, the camp was organized as the Samuel GARLAND Camp,
United Confederate Veterans, Camp No. 8, Virginia Division, Camp No. 1521, United
Confederate Veterans. On 7 May 1894, the camp was renamed the GARLAND-RODES
Camp, United Confederate Veterans. The camp remained active for about forty years
and met for a number of years in the Camp Room in the Jones Memorial Library.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans was organized in 1896, under the auspices of the
United Confederate Veterans. The main objectives of the organization were to preserve
Southern history, to provide for the widows and orphans of veterans, to erect monuments
and memorials, and "to instill into our descendants a devotion to and reverence for the
principles represented by the Confederate States of America to the honor, glory and
memory of our fathers who fought in that cause."
The GARLAND-RODES Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, was inactive for a
period. The charter for Camp No. 409 was reactivated in 1981 and the camp has been
quite active since that time.
