Iowa land once hosting Camp Dodge restored for military use
The United States still owns 1800 acres and Iowa 700 acres adjoining Camp Dodge, totaling 2500 acres kept for military purposes. Hall brothers lease the land to fill ditches remove driveways and restore the property to its precamp condition within two years. The camp site now mainly grows corn, with numerous corn cribs on former hospital grounds of about 40 acres.
