Pittsford Historical Society Member’s Meeting

A Member’s Meeting at the Congregational Church, with a pot-luck supper starting at 5:30. After the business meeting, Lorrie Smith Byrom will give a talk on the history of the two camps on Sangamon Rd. Lorrie is the grand-daughter of Leone and Eleanor Smith, founders of Camp Sangamon, and niece of Jean Smith Davies, who with her husband, Charlie Davies, founded Camp Betsey Cox. Jean wrote a history of Camp Betsey Cox (The Camp With a Song in its Heart) and was working on a history of Sangamon that she left uncompleted. This summer marks 100 years of happy summers at Camp Sangamon and 69 similarly happy summers at Betsey Cox. Lorrie looks forward to sharing remarkable stories from the camps’ founding through to the present.
