“At the end of the day the cost of doing nothing is so much more than the cost of doing something.”
Rich McArdle

Anyone who camped, worked or just visited Camp Horseshoe prior to the construction of the current Camp Road knows that a road cannot be taken for granted.  This exhibit is dedicated to those who worked tirelessly to keep the old camp road open and made the new camp road a reality.

The New Camp road being constructed in 1980.

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign …“.  This exhibit is dedicated to the signs that helped us find our way to Camp and once there, find our way around Camp.

The Camp Horseshoe sign, located at the intersection of Route 1 and Red Pump Road.

This exhibit contains some of the history of the Camp’s water supply.

The water tank, as seen back in the 1940s, that currently sits behind Trader Bill's trading post.

With the Octoraro Creek cutting through Horseshoe Scout Reservation, there has long existed a need to get to the other side. 

The OA bridge after being repaired in 2016.

The telephone system at HSR has gone through a number of changes throughout the years to keep up with the time.

The Horseshoe telephone switchboard found at Headquarters.

Not always the most aesthetically pleasing or dependable for saving gas, these beasts do get the job despite the abuse the staff has given them.

One of the many HSR vehicles, this truck was one of several that <strong>Karl "Moose" Winsch</strong> used.
