Camp Peary
July 19th, 2009
Camp Peary is a military reservation in York County near Williamsburg, Virginia. Officially it is referred to as the Armed Forces Experimental Training Activity(AFETA) under the auspices of the Department of Defense, but it is widely believed to be the location of a covert CIA training facility known as “The Farm”. It has a sister facility, “The Point“, located in Hertford, North Carolina.
Camp Peary has about 9,275 acres (38 km2) of land, of which about 8,000 acres (32 km2) are unimproved or only partially improved. The 100 acre (400,000 m2) Biglers Millpond occupies the site adjacent to the York River. It has been closed to the public since 1951, and as of 2007 access still is highly restricted.
