The Old Settlers Day Association recently presented a grant for $1500 to the Whitley County Historical Society for the purpose of funding an annual children's history summer day camp. Held in annually in mid-June, the camp has been focused on the Civil War for the past two years, but may feature education about the Revolutionary War in 2011. The camps is designed for children ages 9 to 14 and is held at the Whitley County Historical Museum for three consecutive days.
