Jersey's Boys' Camp, Lake Wawayanda

Courtesy of Terry Hann

I know that Lake Wawayanda is in New Jersey. However, look at that address. I would guess that the New Milford train station brought a lot of these boys to the camp. Therefore, I have adopted Lake Wawayanda as part of New Milford.

Germantown Boys at New Milford

Courtesy of Peter Martin

I got this from Mark at New Milford Deli. He got it from Peter Martin. At first, not a clue. With the help of Sue Gardner we figured out that the photo was taken in front of the old Conklin & Strong store in New Milford. Sue matched the architecture of the original store. I had been going through the old newspapers on microfilm and found a Germantown camp at Lake Wawayanda and it all came together. This puts it very early 20th century. These guys were campers.
