Description

Camp Curtin was just north of the state capitol, an 80-acre plot formerly the county fair grounds. It was closed as a soldier training camp Nov. 11, 1865.

The Tyrolean Club played Williamsport here Sept. 27, 1866, and played the Keystone Club here July 4, 1866.

Other baseball games (e.g., the Philadelphia Athletics game, June 8, 1866) were played on "Allison's Hill," just east of downtown.
