Rochester's original Sons of Veterans Camp was Charles W. Canney Camp # 29,
which was organized in 1887. The camp was named after a 19 year old
The goal of Charles W. Canney Camp is to promote and preserve the memory of the

The goal of this camp is to
preserve the memory of the Civil War Veteran and to pay honor to all those who
fought to keep us free.
