Thanksgiving, 1954!

Camp entrance, looking in from Milltown Road, the tree apparently downed by the recent storm. Photos by Jim Molloy - October 13, 2010

Looking east; 50 years ago we would have clearly seen Mitchell's (aka the Chapel) on the left, and the Red Dock near the center. The dark area in the center leads to what we knew as "The Beach."

Looking toward "The Rock" from Milltown Road.

The "Spa" up close, the way many of us remember it from the 50's! The year of the picture dates slightly before the birth of Rock'n'Roll, but if you look inside they were warming up the dance floor! Great era, and great photo thanks to Christine: additional photos here, and here.
