The McCully Heritage Project in Kampsville will be the topic of discussion at the Sunday, July 20 meeting of the Greene County Historical and Genealogical Society. This program is free and open to the public and will begin at 2 p.m.
Project Director Michelle Berg will be the featured speaker and will talk about the development of this destination recreational area located in the scenic hills and valleys of Calhoun County.
The McCully Heritage Project was started in the late 1970’s by the late Howard and Eva McCully after they sold their St. Louis area plant nursery business and moved to Calhoun County. Sadly, both passed away in the mid 1990’s and are buried at the McCully site.
The 940-acre area offers miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, two ponds for fishing and turtle watching, a wetland, forests, native grasslands and natural beauty overlooks. Camping facilities, including the Watkins Place Cabin, are available to groups of nature lovers, but some do require a reservation.
The well-maintained property offers restrooms, cabin rentals or tent camping sites, each featuring a fire pit and picnic table.
The entire property is located a mile south of Kampsville, just off Route 100. It is divided by Crawford Creek, with 110 acres on the north and 830 acres on the south.
Everyone is cordially invited to attend this most interesting program at the Historical Museum and Library, located on the northwest corner of the Carrollton Square. There is no charge to attend this program.
There will be a brief business meeting prior to Berg’s presentation.
