On Thursday, August 15, at 5 pm the Town of Webb Historical Association's popular Local History Series will feature Geoff Longstaff presentating on Moss Lake Camp for Girls. The Thursday evening summer series is held at the Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd.
Geoff's father, George Longstaff, built the prestigious 1700 acre Moss Lake Camp for Girls and operated it from 1923 until 1972. Geof has taken countless history enthusiasts on sentimental hikes around Moss Lake, and loves to share the history of the camp and anecdotal stories of camp life. On the 15th he will share photos of the beautiful “Great Camp” style buildings.
This is an opportunity to get the story without the hike and to learn some interesting local history!
