Camp Marshall was originally built as a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp in the mid 1930’s. The director’s lodge, the arts and crafts building and the recently demolished smiley hall are the original buildings.The past 50 years 4-H has been using Camp Marshall for programs. The first 25 year lease was given by the state in 1948 for a residential camp program. The sleeping cabins were built during the 1950’s by towns sponsoring 4-H clubs, with each club raising money and materials for a cabin.The property that now makes up the center property was acquired over the 20 year period of the 50’s and 60’s. A combination of purchases and donations has resulted in the present 278 acres, which includes the horse camp and Buck Hill Conservation Center. In the early 1960’s, 4-H offered two, one-week horse camp sessions during the summer. The original building, a steel barn, was an open sided, clear span building with moveable stalls for the horses. As the program grew, wings were built for the additional stalls. In the early 1970’s, Wells Williams Arena and the stalls south of the arena were built for expanded horse and livestock shows. The steel barn was converted to its present condition and named Andrews Hall.
