Description
Description | The structure intended to be the future visitor center for the Elmira Civil War Prison Camp site partially collapsed on May 5, 2026, due to heavy winds from a storm. The collapse caused some roof trusses and structural framework to fall to the ground. Construction had just recently started, but the remaining structure must be torn down and rebuilt from scratch for safety reasons. The contractor has been on site with the insurance adjustor, and construction will resume once the matter is settled. The floor and plumbing were not damaged and remain intact. |
