On the 13th of June, 1861 the Massachusetts First Infantry moved from Fresh Pond to Camp Cameron. They occupied the camp even though construction was still going on. Again they were mobbed with vistors, wanting to see the new camp. (1) The new camp was leased by the state until October. (2)
Also on this day a future Camp cameron Regiment, the 11th, was mustered into service at Fort Warren in Boston. (3)
