“All we see of stars are their old photographs.” –Alan Moore
Exhibit Details
The official troop photos taken by members of the camp staff did not occur until 1978. Prior to that, troops were on their own to capture a group photo for remembering their summer camp experience.
In the early days of Horseshoe, before Troops came to camp as units, the entire camp would assemble for a Camp photo.
