Ohio Heritage Summer Camp
The camp runs each July for students grades 3-6.
Participants in the Ohio Heritage Summer Camp program have been learning about Ohio, Lakewood, and the Oldest Stone House since Margaret Manor Butler began the camp in 1966. The camp runs each summer in Lakewood Park.
Throughout the mid-1800s, the farm community of East Rockport bustled with economic activity. Commercial establishments sprang up along the Old Plank Road, which served Rockport’s residents as well as travelers journeying east to Cleveland and west over the Rocky River. The economy of the area grew with the prosperity of the residents’ commercial fruit farms. By the 1870s, it was no longer a necessity that Rockport farmers be self-sustaining. Items once made at home could be bought at the store, and farmers found it sensible to buy them at a general store.
