WWII POW Camp Concordia Preservation Society is a group of individuals dedicated to the preservation of the remnants of Camp Concordia and the story of how over 4,000 German POWs were housed at the camp.  While most of the old camp site has been returned back to farm land, remnants including a few of original foundations of buildings, a Main Gate Guard Post, the water tower base, Officer's Club, one of the stone guard towers and building T-9 still stand as a reminder of this important part of our history.
