The cemetery at Andersonville Prison, the most notorious prison camp of the Civil War, was designated a national cemetery after the war ended. In 1998 the Andersonville National Historic Site, in Macon County, opened the National Prisoner of War Museum, which is dedicated to all U.S. prisoners of war.
