Work started nearly 70 years ago to open Camp Toccoa at Currahee Mountain, a military installation with Hall County ties that is now famous for training the “Band of Brothers” unit during World War II. No particular celebrations are planned, but the inaugural D-Day 10-K Run took place Saturday as a fundraiser for the Camp Toccoa at Currahee Project, a series of buildings planned to preserve the legacy of the men who served there. “We’re not trying to rebuild Camp Toccoa,” said Brenda J. Carlan, executive director of the Stephens County Historical Society, which operates the Currahee Military Museum in a historic train depot in downtown Toccoa. “We know we can’t do that, but we are trying to bring life back into the site.”
