Camping History
Recall the Memories of Yesteryear
Pause here for an hour under the spell of historical camping mystique... savor the aroma of woodsmoke...gaze upon a distant skyline of pointed firs... see a trout rise in the morning mist... listen to the loon's plaintive laughter... follow the shimmering V-trail of a beaver on moonlit waters...
Relive the camaraderie of the evening campfire... the songs... the stories... toasted marshmallows... drift into soothing slumber to the hoot of an owl.... awaken to a new day's wonders under a gentle rain's patter on your shelter...
Of course, the Museum can't reproduce all of these magic moments but, amid the myriad displays of ancient camping gear, you'll conjure them up in your mind's eye, creating a rush of memories of far-off places and the joys you knew there.
