Chester County Council purchased the property from the Reynolds Family, who occupied the land since the late 18th century. Horseshoe Scout Reservation opened for the first camp season in 1928 under the leadership of Charles M. 'Chief' Heistand. At the time, the property was haven for moonshiners operating illegal stills. When officials from the council first visited, it is said that the moonshiners fled the camp having mistaken their uniforms and campaign hats for those worn by Pennsylvania State Trooper.
It is because of my love of the Camp that I decided to do this painting of the White House.
The original has been sold, but limited edition prints are available. Miniature prints and note cards are also available from my website. www.bill-kassel.com
