Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
New Hampshire Camps
The Sons of Veterans (of the United States of America) was organized in 1881, their name being amended in 1925 to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. It received its federal charter in 1954, making it the legal heir of the Grand Army of the Republic. In New Hampshire, the first Camp was organized in 1882. The NH Department (early on called a division) held its first annual encampment in 1883.
The following list (camp name, number, and location) is incomplete, and will be amended as more data is found. Camps highlighted in color indicate an individual page written about them. Note: When a camp surrendered its charter, their number may have been reused when another camp was organized. In this case, a date will follow their entry below to show approximate year of existence.
