The Rockingham Rangers Camp 1835 is part of the Northern Piedmont Brigade, one of 11 brigades comprising the North Carolina Division of the national Sons of Confederate Veterans. Camp 1835 was activated on December 1, 1998 with nine members. Since that time, and thanks to the guidance and efforts of many committed members, the Camp has remained an active and viable representation in North Central North Carolina of our Confederate heritage. It is to the many dedicated compatriots, past and present, of the Rockingham Rangers that we owe a debt of gratitude for their faithful support.
This camp shares with the national and state organizations an enduring interest in and commitment to preserving our common Confederate heritage. In practical terms, this often means responding to uninformed or ill meaning attacks on points of Confederate history, symbols, monuments, historical figures, or real but often obscured reasons so many Southerners (both white and black) fought for the Confederacy. The Camp is a non-political organization which is not affiliated with any organization other than the national and state Sons of Confederate Veterans. We reject any group whose actions tarnish or distort the image of the Confederate soldier or the reasons for which they so bravely served. Neither do we embrace, condone, support or associate with any organization(s) whose philosophy is based on racial or social bias or the hatred of others.
The Camp musters regularly at 6:00 PM for our meeting on the first Thursday of each month in a store building on the left at the intersection of 770 T. Clarence Stone Hwy and Ayersville Rd. Turn off Hwy 220 north onto hwy 770 go west 3.3 miles. Come visit with us. You are always welcome.
