History of Franklin L. Cary Camp

Presented by William L. (Bill) Hoover, Professor Emeritus, Purdue Dept. of Forestry and Natural Resources

The philanthropic impact of Franklin Masten Cary and his wife Jessie Levering Cary lives on to an ever-increasing extent in our community. This is especially true for Cary Camp, named in honor of their son who died unexpectedly at age 18. He died just as the Boy Scouts of America program was being developed in the Lafayette area. Bill Hoover’s presentation will review the almost 100 years that Cary Camp has contributed to the quality of life for residents of West-Central Indiana.
