Camp Hill is the home to Lyman Ward Military Academy. In 2004, Camp Hill played host to the Odyssey Music Festival On July 15, 1931, a white mob raided a meeting of the Alabama Share Croppers Union which was being held in a church in Camp Hill. A shootout between the mob and union members followed; SCU member Ralph Gray was murdered, several men and women were injured, and at least thirty black men were later arrested (at least four others were lynched).
