The Camden Expedition Sites is a national historic landmark consisting of nine nationally significant historic places in southwest Arkansas where events of the Union army's disastrous Camden Expedition of 1864 occurred during the American Civil War. The Union was attempting to take over Shreveport, Louisiana. Each of the sites are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designated a national historic landmark on April 19, 1994.[1]
The National Park Service (NPS) nomination refers to nine sites, yet only eight of them are listed by name.[1] The nomination fully describes the eight sites.[2] The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program website includes the "Old U.S. Arsenal" in Little Rock, where the expedition started, in the designation. The photos accompanying the NPS nomination include images of the arsenal as well as the other eight sites.[3]
