The Friends and Descendants of Johnson's Island Civil War Prison will host a pop-up museum of artifacts and historical documents relating to the prisoners and guards on display at the Johnson's Island Clubhouse (located next to the Confederate Stockade Cemetery). A series of short presentations will be given throughout the day in the clubhouse. Parking is available at the adjacent Confederate Cemetery. We invite organizations and private collectors with items relating to Johnson's Island and/or Ohio's role in the Civil War to have a display at this event. There is no cost to host a table. Please contact us for more information.
Tours of the Civil War Prison site (GPS: 4005 E Baycliffs Dr, Johnson’s Island, Ohio) and the cemetery will be held at select times during the event. Parking for the prison tours is available along Baycliffs Drive. Please do not park in the marina parking area across the street.
The event and tours are free and open to the public. Visitors to Johnson’s Island will need to pay a $2 cash toll to access the island via the causeway (dollars or quarters only).
