Summary
Located near the Cedar River in Nance County, the Nebraska Baptist State Convention purchased the property in 1942. The Baptists planned to make the site one of the most complete summer religious camps in the Midwest. The result was that by the early 1950s almost every phase of the Nebraska's Baptist Church program activity was represented at the camp. Additionally, the area that encompasses this district is rich in history. A Native American presence, pioneer immigration, and a Civilian Conservation Corps camp all share an historical relationship with this unique area.
