AUCTIONEERS NOTE:  This is a huge auction and we will be running two auctioneers all day.

Limberlost Camp was founded in 1926 by Jack Wainwright and was host to 100’s of high school bands across the US, 4-H groups, outdoor clubs, conservation clubs, homemakers, FFA and the training location for the National Red Cross Aquatic School.  Purdue University purchased the camp in 1954 and managed it until 1981 when Mr. and Mrs. Peterman took over the operation.  The camp has lots of fond memories for the Peterman Family, LaGrange County and the 1000’s of students and young people who spent their summers at Limberlost Camp at Oliver Lake.  This is your chance to buy a piece of history from Limberlost Camp.  Don’t miss this auction.
