History
Cedarlands Scout Reservation started out as a Greatcamp in the Adirondacks, owned by the Walker family. It is the largest campgrounds in the adirondacks and boy scout troops from Vermont, Maryland and Pennsylvania make the trip to stay for a week of fun. The campgrounds were privately owned and had two large mansions on the premises. One of the mansions burned down prior to Boy Scout ownership, and the other after. Originally the campsites were situated around the perimeter of Lake McRorie, but over the years they have migrated to one side of the lake and scouts are no longer required to kayak across the lake to get food from the commisary.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
