Camp Claiborne, Camp Claiborne RuinsDescription
Two boards found at Historic Camp Claiborne. They are likely the remains of a building that was once there. The shorter board was likely used on the outside of the building and was painted white and the longer of the two boards was likely used to structurally support the building.Context
These boards are important due to them capturing what materials were used to build the buildings at Camp Claiborne, preserving the story of what was once there. The longer board is stamped "Bogalusa" which was home to the Great Southern Lumber Company.Collection
