Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan
Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Action Plan 3-1 Action Plan Introduction The Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (Plan) is a visionary document that provides a clear path on how Perry County can continue to provide and expand recreation resources and opportunities in the County. To ensure the Plan meets the needs and expectations of the residents of the County, the planning process and strategy development was very open to the public. A total of six public participation meetings were conducted, three at frontend of the project to listen to the public, and three at the backend to present the recommendations and achieve a level of public support that would allow the plan to be easily adopted and implemented by the Board of Commissioners. In addition to those public participation meetings, a total of fifty (50) key stakeholders were identified and interviewed on various topics, including Water Resources, Land Resources, Conservation, Regulatory, Funding, People, Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. A summary of the key stakeholder interviews and input from the public participation meetings is provided in the Plan. In addition to those interviews and meetings, a committee of fifty individuals (Committee) was created to provide additional input and guidance on the Plan, and a core committee of seven individuals was created from the full committee to oversee the month to month activities. Plan concepts, strategies, and recommendations were all ran through the core committee before receiving final approval by the full committee. The day to day interactions were handled by county staff from the County Planning Commission and Conservation District. -

Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C
Pennsylvania Boatbuilding: Charting a State Tradition Seth C. Bruggeman College of William and Mary John Watson must have been quite content by the summer of 1870. Though he never learned to read or write, Watson retired at the age of sixty with a wife, five children, and the satisfaction of being one of the wealthiest residents in his community. Thirty-eight years before, Watson and his new wife, Sybella, left Reading, Pennsylvania, to begin a new life in not-so-distant Middletown. Why the newlyweds chose Middletown as their destination is unknown, but the town's dramatic growth and economic success is one possible reason. Though the oldest town in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Middletown did not achieve its full potential until the mid-nineteenth century. First incorporated as a borough in 1828 and then merged with neighboring Portsmouth in 1857, one unique feature made Middletown especially fertile for growth: the junction of the Pennsylvania and Union Canals. Even prior to the canals' construction Middletown proved a significant trade center. Built near the junction of the Swatara Creek and Susquehanna River, Middletown received southbound arks and canoes laden with grain from northern farmland intended for sale in Lancaster and Philadelphia. Middletown's grain trade flourished even before the arrival of canal travel. One hundred and fifty thousand bushels of wheat traveled through Middletown in 1790 en route to Philadelphia.' This number jumped to 180,000 in 1795 and skyrocketed to 800,000 in 1824. Further internal development accompanied increased water traffic. By 1870, Middletown boasted nearly three thousand residents, eight churches, and a variety of business facilities "not surpassed by any other town in Dauphin County, or of like population in the State."2 It is, therefore, no wonder that John and Sybella foresaw potential economic opportunities awaiting them in the riverside town.3 Their expectation was, indeed, correct. -

Anniversary Booklet, John R
Central Oak Heights 100 Years 1909—2009 Cottage Histories 1 2 FOREWORD The Trustees Minutes 1909-1943 were hand written, and deciphering them was time consuming. How much time was fully dependent on the neatness of the writer's pen- manship. Names were sometimes misspelled; initials were often a matter of guess-work. Not all cottage transactions are recorded there. References were made to "Executive Com- mittee" meetings, but minutes of these meetings have not yet been located, and may con- tain more information. The histories of double cottages get very confusing since the names of owners change at different times for each half, get misspelled sometimes, and numbers get re- versed occasionally. Even the leases can contain misspelled names, but the signatures are more reliable. Many of the cottages around Tabernacle Square appear to have had two fronts, with porches on both north and south sides (or east and west) in their original design. I don't know how they determined which was the "front". Addresses on the maps listed as "Fairview", "Pleasant View", and "Tabernacle Square" were not actually streets, even before paving. They were more like "neighborhoods". Bethel Trail and Hebron Trail are still unpaved paths. The c.1949 map is included as a center-fold. It is of interest because it uses the "old" numbering system and even lists the cottageholders with the numbers and streets.. How many "27"s are there? How many "29"s? Interesting also that the anonymous creator of the map has it oriented "upside down", with South at the top and North at the bottom. -

Camp Loyalsock (1938-1984)
CAMP LOYALSOCK (1938-1984) by Milton W. Loyer Camp Loyalsock, one of four summer camping grounds1 brought into the 1968 United Methodist merger by the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Church, has an interesting history that involves two conferences, evolving ministries and changing philosophies. Camping at this Sullivan County location was initiated by the Central New York Conference of the Methodist Church, the original 15 acres purchased in 1938 being supplemented by additional parcels secured in 1940 and 1944 to bring the site to its final size of 97 acres. The map on the facing page, prepared for an early engineering study of the facilities, locates the camp in relation to the borough of Forksville, the Sullivan County Fairgrounds and PA 154. Effective June 1, 1952, the Northeast Jurisdictional Conference transferred all Central New York Conference Methodist churches in Sullivan County into the Central Pennsylvania Conference. 2 Specifically, this involved the Forksville charge 3 consisting of Bethel, Estella, Forksville and Hillsgrove. Even though Camp Loyalsock, one of the Central New York Conference's two camping grounds, was situated in Sullivan County within walking distance of the Forksville church, it remained the property of that conference. As might be expected, the Central New York Conference found it increasingly more difficult over the next few years to continue to attract staff and campers to such a distant location. When the conference began to offer summer camps at alternative rented facilities within its own boundaries, loyalty to the once-popular Camp Loyalsock dropped below the reasonable threshold for good Christian stewardship of resources.
