By now, Jess would have our restaurant looking like a Christmas wonderland. She decorates for us every year, trees, lights, greenery.. it’s beautiful by the time she’s done. She also created a delicious winter drink menu with eye catching garnishes to help us all feel a little more cheery. She puts a lot of time and love behind everything she does to make this time of year special for us all and it’s a dang shame that we aren’t able to share it with all of you.

HISTORY ON FRIDAYS 12/11 NEW LANCASTER VALLEY CCC CAMP This CCC camp, designated S-113 was established on October 14, 1933 when Company 275 arrived. The c...amp was located several miles above Reeds Gap State Park. While it is on private property, at the time it was designated as a state forest camp. Company 275 was actually from Idaho. This was not uncommon in the CCC program. This company remained until about May 7 to 10, 1934, when they were transferred to Moravia in New York. A few days later on May 14, Company 338 transferred to this camp from S-65 in Treaster Kettle camp, which was west of Potter’s Mills in Centre County. Note that Treaster Kettle and Treaster Valley were different camps. In August of 1936, Company was split in half, forming a new company, which was transferred to Swanton, Maryland. The remaining half remained Company 338, and was refilled to full complement, but only remained until December of that year, when they were disbanded. Some members who were at the end of their enlistment were given a discharge. Others were transferred individually into other units. Moving in immediately was Company 5458, which was transferred from Camp S-64 in Treaster Valley, as it was closed. They remained only until July 10, of 1937. At this point, it is uncertain what happened to this company, whether they were transferred or disbanded. Moving in immediately afterward was yet another company, this time it was Company 3308-CV. This company was composed of African-American veterans, mostly from World War I, as designated with the CV in their number. They had been formed in 1935, and were at three other camps before coming to Mifflin County. This was at a time when discrimination was still common in American society, so African-American companies were legally segregated into their own companies. In many states, they were not welcome, but in Pennsylvania, these companies were well supported by state officials. While there are a few instances of local communities objecting to colored companies as they were called, this company endeared itself to the local community, and were welcomed. As with the companies that preceded them, they did a lot of forestry work locally, and worked in Reeds Gap State Park. In the early summer of 1941, orders were received for this company to be located to another camp. Local citizens near their new camp wrote to their congressmen, objecting to this move. They did not want this company in their community. At the same time, Mifflin Countians were also writing to their congressmen, objecting to the move. They wanted this company to remain here. Though the CCC leaders initially stuck to the move, they rescinded it at the last minute. Mifflin County had won. The company would remain. Unfortunately their victory was short lived, as the company disbanded a few weeks later. Today, the mess hall of the camp remains, and is now the Wilderness Lodge Restaurant.
