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

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

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. $35, plus $3 shipping.
