Camp Brandywine - Cyrus Forwood's Progress (sitios de interés)

Cyrus and the rest of the 2nd Delaware moved to "Camp Brandywine." The first Camp Brandywine is believed to have been on the site of what is now the Wawaset park neighborhood in the western part of Wilmington. Contemporary accounts place the camp, home to Delaware's volunteer infantry at the start of the war, on the state fairgrounds. This location is marked as Fair Grounds on the 1868 Beers Map of Christiana Hundred. Later, the area was known as Schuetzen Park, a horse and later auto racing site. In the early 20th Century, it was acquired by the DuPont company and developed as a neighborhood to house company employees.
