We welcome you to the Walter P. Lane Camp in Longview Texas. Our camp was organized and chartered on the 22nd of January 1987. We meet the 2nd tuesday of each month, at 7pm., at the business office of Satterwhite Homes on HWY 259, approximately 6 1/2 miles north of Loop 281 in Longview.
Guest are always
WELCOME!
We are an active camp with members involved in many activities, including dedications, memorial services,parades, living history projects, and re-enactments.
The Walter P. Lane Camp is one in which you can participate in any of these activities, including a Color Guard and Artillery Battery. You may choose one or more of these, or simply attend the monthly meetings and enjoy the programs and the company of like minded people who want to honor their Confederate ancestors.
