Cameron Art Museum was the site of part of the Battle of Forks Road, a Civil War engagement whose victory was won by the United States Colored Troops (USCT) and led to the fall of Wilmington. Many of the 1600 African-American soldiers who fought here were native to this area and, after the war, many of them stayed to settle, raise their families, and build a community. Their impact is significant, yet their story is virtually unknown.
