Camp Haswell "Boy Scout Cabin" Fundraiser
Capay Valley residents are rallying behind the preservation of the "Boy Scout Cabin" at Camp Haswell on Cache Creek near Rumsey. The Cabin was built in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) using creek stone and mortar. The cabin has become a beloved recreational spot for locals and visitors alike and has withstood floods and severe wind for over 90 years.
Matt Gwerder, a local contractor, is donating his time and expertise to repair the roof and secure the building's future for generations to come. To cover the cost of materials and permits for a roof replacement, the Yolo County Historical Society is sponsoring the Camp Haswell Fundraiser. Community members are invited to donate to this worthy WPA project.
