The Flagpole was moved last year and is now outside the TMR Museum in the headquarters area along with the dedication plaque. It was rededicated last Alumni Day. This past winter the Kunatah Trading Post was moved to the Museum compound where it will be used for storage and a Museum workshop to expand the available space in the Museum.

From what I understand the golf course was built on Kane's Open, but I think part of the property used to belong to Mr. Schwartz. I grew up playing in the woods on Mr. Schwartz's abandoned property and am interested in finding any pictures there may be of the place. It was a huge part of my childhood and so far have not come up with any images. If you have any information that would be helpful I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you!

The first summer I was a bit timid due to my never being away from home for so long. I went on the first trip (2 weeks)that first year.. Those two weeks hooked me. The next three years were full summers at KUNATAH along with four or five of my buddies. The camp director’s name was DOC. I remember him coming down from Rhode Island and always playing a Slide Whistle. The Head of the Mess Hall was Moose. My Camp sites were Sequoya, Seneca, Chappaqua and Back Woods. I don’t understand why they would elect to close down a WONDERFUL place like Camp KUNATAH…… Sorry to see you go. :-( I want to KUNATAH for four summers in the early sixties.
