History
Established in 1930.
Camp Marshall was originally built as a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp in the mid 1930’s. The director’s lodge, the arts and crafts building and the recently demolished smiley hall are the original buildings. The past 50 years 4-H has been using Camp Marshall for programs. The first 25 year lease was given by the state in 1948 for a residential camp program. The sleeping cabins were built during the 1950’s by towns sponsoring 4-H clubs, with each club raising money and materials for a cabin. The property that now makes up the center property was acquired over the 20 year period of the 50’s and 60’s. A combination of purchases and donations has resulted in the present 278 acres, which includes the horse camp and Buck Hill Conservation Center.
