An account of the resource
A collection of postcard views and photographs of Camp Grant. In April 1917 the United States entered the first World War. Immediately the federal government began planning for a dozen new military training camps. In Rockford, Illinois the Chamber of Commerce led a campaign to win a camp for the community.
In June 1917 the War Department agreed to locate an army training camp—Camp Grant-- in Rockford. Camp Grant was located south of Rockford where the Rockford International Airport now sits. Construction was speedy and significant. In three months 1100 buildings went up. By September 1917 the camp was open and receiving thousands of recruits.
With thousands of men residing at the camp throughout the war, Camp Grant improved Rockford’s economy, raised business profits and led to growth of the area overall. The camp would go on to be used during World War II as well but was decommissioned in the years following.

Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois in World War I and World War II
Description
An account of the resource
A collection of postcard views and photographs of Camp Grant. In April 1917 the United States entered the first World War. Immediately the federal government began planning for a dozen new military training camps. In Rockford, Illinois the Chamber of Commerce led a campaign to win a camp for the community.
In June 1917 the War Department agreed to locate an army training camp—Camp Grant-- in Rockford. Camp Grant was located south of Rockford where the Rockford International Airport now sits. Construction was speedy and significant. In three months 1100 buildings went up. By September 1917 the camp was open and receiving thousands of recruits.
With thousands of men residing at the camp throughout the war, Camp Grant improved Rockford’s economy, raised business profits and led to growth of the area overall. The camp would go on to be used during World War II as well but was decommissioned in the years following.

In June 1917 the War Department agreed to locate an army training camp—Camp Grant-- in Rockford. Camp Grant was located south of Rockford where the Rockford International Airport now sits. Construction was speedy and significant. In three months 1100 buildings went up. By September 1917 the camp was open and receiving thousands of recruits.
With thousands of men residing at the camp throughout the war, Camp Grant improved Rockford’s economy, raised business profits and led to growth of the area overall. The camp would go on to be used during World War II as well but was decommissioned in the years following.

Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois in World War I and World War II
Description
An account of the resource
A collection of postcard views and photographs of Camp Grant. In April 1917 the United States entered the first World War. Immediately the federal government began planning for a dozen new military training camps. In Rockford, Illinois the Chamber of Commerce led a campaign to win a camp for the community.
In June 1917 the War Department agreed to locate an army training camp—Camp Grant-- in Rockford. Camp Grant was located south of Rockford where the Rockford International Airport now sits. Construction was speedy and significant. In three months 1100 buildings went up. By September 1917 the camp was open and receiving thousands of recruits.
With thousands of men residing at the camp throughout the war, Camp Grant improved Rockford’s economy, raised business profits and led to growth of the area overall. The camp would go on to be used during World War II as well but was decommissioned in the years following.

Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois in World War I and World War II
Description
An account of the resource
A collection of postcard views and photographs of Camp Grant. In April 1917 the United States entered the first World War. Immediately the federal government began planning for a dozen new military training camps. In Rockford, Illinois the Chamber of Commerce led a campaign to win a camp for the community.
In June 1917 the War Department agreed to locate an army training camp—Camp Grant-- in Rockford. Camp Grant was located south of Rockford where the Rockford International Airport now sits. Construction was speedy and significant. In three months 1100 buildings went up. By September 1917 the camp was open and receiving thousands of recruits.
With thousands of men residing at the camp throughout the war, Camp Grant improved Rockford’s economy, raised business profits and led to growth of the area overall. The camp would go on to be used during World War II as well but was decommissioned in the years following.

A collection of postcard views and photographs of Camp Grant. In April 1917 the United States entered the first World War.

Description
An account of the resource
A collection of postcard views and photographs of Camp Grant. In April 1917 the United States entered the first World War. Immediately the federal government began planning for a dozen new military training camps. In Rockford, Illinois the Chamber of Commerce led a campaign to win a camp for the community.
In June 1917 the War Department agreed to locate an army training camp—Camp Grant-- in Rockford. Camp Grant was located south of Rockford where the Rockford International Airport now sits. Construction was speedy and significant. In three months 1100 buildings went up. By September 1917 the camp was open and receiving thousands of recruits.
With thousands of men residing at the camp throughout the war, Camp Grant improved Rockford’s economy, raised business profits and led to growth of the area overall. The camp would go on to be used during World War II as well but was decommissioned in the years following.
