A Look Back: Camp Springs' Story

A group of immigrants from southwest Germany settled in rural Campbell County. They started farms and planted many vineyards. Vineyards are places where grapes are grown, often for making wine.

These early settlers built many unique buildings using stone. Their building style was very special and different. It gave the area a unique look. Because of their unique design, many of these local properties were added to a special list. This list is called the United States National Register of Historic Places. They were added to this important list in 1983. This recognized their historical and architectural value.
