There is a sweet, sequestered spot,
where peace and silence reign,

The purpose of Confederate Memorial Park, Inc.
is to honor the sacrifices of the POWs (military & civilian
of all races, men/women/children) who were imprisoned and who died
at Pt. Lookout, MD 1863-1865.
We purchased over three acres of land next to
the Pt. Lookout Confederate Cemetery
in St.
Mary's
County,
Pt.
Lookout, MD. On this plot, we have erected a 40' flagpole that
flies the Confederate Battle Flag 24-7-365. Eventually, this will
hold front/center position for a POW statue, CSA state flags
and trees / flowers, complete with memorial benches and mulched
paths.
We will also erect a monument plaque
that will contain the names of those who perished at Pt. Lookout
POW Camp, which has been left off of the existing monument in the
cemetery.
There were over 52,000 imprisoned in Pt. Lookout.
Think of all the descendants of these POWs throughout the United
States. Hopefully, eventually, all of them will visit the memorial
that will be erected to their family members. CMP will be a place
where people can visit to learn of unedited, non revised, no-compromise
history. It will be a serene, reverent place to visit that teaches
and honors the sacrifices of those American POW Veterans, who died
in captivity serving their country.
