Abstract:
A new 4-H camp site in Mulberry Valley, Caldwell County was a memorial gift of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Robinson of Lenoir, who lost their only two children to polio. The uniqueness of the camp lies in the fact that it will be used for primitive camping. The property was where the Robinson children were born, and has historical significance because the land once belonged to Israel Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone, from whom Mrs. Robinson is a fifth generation descendant.

4-H and NC Cooperative Extension Service wanted to offer an updated facility including a HVAC-supplied auditorium/conference center. According to the author, the real value of this state of the art facility can’t be measured in the building. It’s calibrated in neighborly efforts ranging from wood donated by NC companies such as the Jordan Company Co (Mount Gilead) to the labor of love provided by carpenters from nearby Union Grove’s Amish community.
