Camp Delaware was created as a live stage production by Delaware residents Francine and Mark Butler. In 2024, the Butlers produced a film version. Camp Delaware tells the history of the Civil War-era training camp in Delaware, where African Americans trained to fight for the Union, and of the life of Black soldiers heading to war. The camp was located near Olentangy Avenue and the Olentangy River, from 1862 to the end of the war. The production blends historical storytelling and original music, creating an emotional and educational experience that connects the past with the present.
