Camp Michaux

Camp Michaux was a secret World War II camp for interrogating prisoners of war. The camp northwest of the Pine Grove Iron Works was previously used as a CCC Camp that provided labor for state-owned lands (e.g., Pine Grove Furnace State Park)[1] and was used as a summer camp.[2] The POW camp commander was Captain Lawrence C. Thomas, who also commanded the World War II Prisoner of War Camp, Gettysburg Battlefield, Pennsylvania.[2]
