Join us for camaraderie, friendship, and R&R

our mission:

To foster comradeship among Armed Services veterans, promote patriotism, duty, and honor for country and state, and preserve the last remaining Civil War Veterans Encampment in the United States.

From Our President:

Welcome to the NHVA website. We have a new internal webmaster who will be making updates to make it more user friendly and informative. Over the coming months you will see many changes, such as easier ways to book a campsite/house, upcoming events and new photographs. Please enjoy and stay tuned in.

HISTORY OF THE ASSOCIATION

The NHVA Is the Natural Outgrowth of the Camaraderie

which binds men and women together in time of war, and of the desire to perpetuate the friendship in days of peace. The idea of forming this unique body – the only one of its kind in the United States – grew out of regimental organizations formed after the Civil War.
