Camp #97 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans was organized and chartered in the spring of 1985 by a small group of local men from the Athens, Georgia area interested in their Confederate heritage. The camp is named for the highest ranking Athenian killed during the war, Brigadier General T. R. R Cobb. Camp meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month, except July and December, at 7:30 pm at the Watkinsville Community Center on VFW Drive.
