Camp Randall, Civil War military training ground in Madison, Wisconsin, US.
Camp Randall occupies a large area split between university athletic facilities, engineering buildings, and a memorial park with historical displays.
The site served as Wisconsin's primary military training facility during the Civil War, processing over 70,000 Union soldiers between 1861 and 1865.
The Memorial Arch, added in 1912, features statues of soldiers and commemorates the thousands of Wisconsin troops who trained at this location.
Visitors can access the memorial park section throughout the year to view historical exhibits and learn about Wisconsin's Civil War contributions.
Confederate prisoners from the Battle of Island No. 10 were temporarily held at Camp Randall, with some managing to escape due to insufficient fencing.
