Kat, I have been to Point Lookout many times as we have camped there . There is a small museum there and part of the prison fence. The hospital area has washed away with the water. Very interesting place, there is a large monument with names of the people buried there. Its a beautiful place now but I'm very sure it wasn't back then.  Judy ________________________________ From: Kat Fulcher <kfulcher55@gmail.com> To: vafloyd <VAFLOYD@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, June 15, 2010 8:37:15 AM Subject: [VAFLOYD] Point Lookout Prison While rooting around in some Civil War records, I discovered that another of my husband's ancestors spent time in the infamous "Point Lookout" prisoner of war camp in MD. during the Civil War. We already knew that Alexander Maness, one of my mother in law's several times great grandfathers, died there, but I have now learned that Madison P. Fulcher, my husband's g-g grandfather, was taken there in the later part of 1864 and was a prisoner there at the end of the Civil War, released in June of 1865.  He was one of the fortunate ones who actually survived that difficult place! How many other folks on the list have ancestors that were imprisoned at Point Lookout?  Has anyone ever visited there?  I would like to get up there and tour the area one of these days.
