Camp Dodge: Home Away from Home

By German American Heritage Center

Sunday, August 6 @ 2pm

Utilizing period documents and photographs, "Camp Dodge: Home Away from Home" illustrates the rapid transformation and federalization of the Iowa National Guard base northwest of Des Moines into the largest military base in Iowa history. During World War I Camp Dodge evolved into a divisional sized training cantonment for the 88th Infantry Division occupying an area of eight square miles. By the end of the war in November 1918 Camp Dodge processed over 100,000 draftees into US Army service.
