En 1921, Edward Marschall achète une propriété de vacances:
The
property around what is now called Ferncliff Lake was bought in 1921 from
Niemeyer Lumber Company by Dr. A.C. Shipp and Mr. E.D. Visart.
Mr. Visart was the Federal Game Warden for Arkansas.
They used it as a summer place for their families. In 1932 Bill and Helon
Williams were guests and conceived of the idea of acquiring the property “for
benefit of Arkansas Presbyterians” who had no camp
and retreat center of their own. Bill and Helon had met at a gathering when
Presbyterian youth used Petit Jean Mountain for their retreats.
In 1937 the Williams, along with brother E. Grainger Williams and others,
organized the Ferncliff Board of Trustees and purchased the 90 acre property for
$35,000. Additional property was added to make it 360 acres. After the death of
the Williams in 1950, the Ferncliff Board was given the option of buying
additional property and expanded the camp to 1592 acres. “Acting as an arm of
the Synod,” the Board raised the money for this expansion.
