FROM THE LOOKOUT: MEMORIES OF PENINSULA STATE PARKS SUMMER CAMP FOR GIRLS with educator and author, Kathleen Harris
For every summer from 1916 to 1948, Camp Meenahga, on the picturesque shoreline of Lake Michigan in Door County’s Peninsula State Park, hosted young girls and women from across the United States and Canada. From July to September each year, campers slept in canvas tents, told stories beside a massive stone fireplace, swam, canoed, sailed, hiked, rode horses, and watched the sunset from the Lookout, a gazebo with a spectacular view of the waters of Green Bay. Join Kathleen Harris as she discusses life at Camp Meenahga in its glory days.
Kathleen Harris was a naturalist at Peninsula State Park for almost 30 years. She is currently an educator at the Ephraim Historical Foundation in Door County, Wisconsin.
The Adult Afternoon Program series is sponsored by the Friends of the Neenah Public Library and is free and open to the public.
