ExhibitPlus 2bulletin_board_3-2006 The bulletin board sits neglected and bare of activity schedules Alice Beard comments:

The bulletin that board sits neglected and bare of activity schedules was built in the late 1970s early 1980s and showed the program of events during camp operation. The property is now in the hands of the WV Department of Natural Resources and operated as a Wildlife Management Area. Entropy is slowly returning evidence of Camp Takahano to a memory. The bulletin board was at the Farm House where the Camp Director stayed during program weeks. It was destroyed by fire, but before it burnt it was pretty much stripped by "persons unknown" of the wood burning stoves and other items. This farm house was built when the area was logged and was used to cook meals for the loggers who would enter through one door, pick up their food, and exit by another door. Camp Fire added a large deck on the front and a smaller one on the back."

Geez, we sure would like to see photos of the building in "action"!
