Photo 2-EGU-28

Comments

This 160-acre farm purchased by John Benak in 1961 was renovated in 1978 by his widow, Verna Benak VanHorn, who made his dream of Winterset Campground come true with full hookup campsites, unlimited tent camping, a 10-acre fishing lake and 3 1/2 acre swimming lake, and camp store. After her passing, the property was sold and has now been parceled off into home sites. As a teenager, moving from the City of Akron to the country in 1978 was an adjustment but a memory I will cherish forever thanks to my parents.
