The Crossville P. O. W Camp Collection, 1942-1981 consists primarily of newspaper clippings about the camp in the years after the war. Several clippings discuss rationing and local opposition to the establishment of the camp. In addition to the clippings, the collection contains several photographs from the camp when it held German prisoners of war. One former guard from the camp created a memoir about the camp, which includes excerpts from a book, photographs, and a map of the camp's layout. Since the site is currently used as a 4-H summer camp, a copy of 4-H's history of the property is included.
