Job Description
Camp Nelson National Monument is a historically significant site located in Nicholasville, Kentucky. This park preserves and interprets important historic and archaeological resources associated with a U.S. Army supply depot that transformed into one of the largest Civil War-era recruitment and training centers for United States Colored Troops, as well as an African American refugee camp. The monument plays a vital role in commemorating this pivotal chapter in American history by offering visitors a chance to explore the legacy of the Civil War and the contributions of African American soldiers and civilians during that time.
