[Rarebooks] FS: 1870s Cape Cod Christian Camp Ground Carpenter Card

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1870s Cape Cod Christian Camp Ground Carpenter Card.

A card for Nathan Bennett, “Contractor and Builder, Pleasant Avenue, 
Christian Camp Ground”, under which is written in light pencil, “Nob(?) 
158 - Hyannis”. The Barnstable Historical Commission explains-

“In 1871 The New England Convention of the Christian Church purchased 
and established a camp meeting known as Camp Christian on the 160 acre 
Perry Farm in Centreville. In 1872 the Christian Camp Meeting 
Association was established… Camp Christian was renamed Craigsville in 
1881 in honor of the life and ministry of Dr. J. Austin Craig. Situated 
on a bluff overlooking Nantucket Sound, it served as a spectacular spot 
for a retreat from everyday life. Families were able to buy or lease the 
288 small lots… They initially erected tents or built small shelters, 
and as time and means allowed, small cottages were constructed”.

2.25”x3.5”. Minor soil, 2 pencil notes.  [43106]  $65
