We members of the E. Porter Alexander, Camp 158 take pride in our Heritage and Dixie. We are involved in many projects, events, and civic endeavors. Since Augusta is a border city between Georgia and South Carolina our membership comes from both states. We take part in many events and projects in South Carolina as well as our home state of Georgia. Our major endeavors are listed here:
Camp 158 was the initiator and donator of the original funds of the CSS Hunley project. Mark Newell, the man who actually found the Hunley, was a member in our camp.
The camp has helped raise money and labor for many flag poles being raised in the CSRA.
We are the caretakers of the Confederate Powder Works Chimney, the last remaining structure engineered, designed, built, and funded by the Confederacy.
The camp watches over the Confederate dead in Magnolia Cemetery in Augusta. This cemetery holds over nine hundred Confederate graves, including seven Confederate Generals.
Camp 158 attends many Confederate memorials and rededications
requested by the UDC and family members.
The camp sets up booths at many festivals and local events
throughout the CSRA. We pass information and educate the
public to the truth which is no longer being told in our schools.
As a community service project, the camp has adopted the Augusta West Parkway and keeps it clean of trash and debris.
