Learn about a little-known piece of Main Line history -- a Union Army post named Camp Discharge that operated in Gladwyne in the final months of the U.S. Civil War. The presenters, Jim Remsen and Brad Upp, are the authors of a new history book about Camp Discharge titled 'Back From Battle'. Included in the presentation is a display of artifacts unearthed at the site of the short-lived camp.
