Nestled in the ridges of South Mountain, two miles northwest of Pine Grove
Furnace State Park along Michaux Road, lies the site of Camp Michaux. This
church camp, formerly shared by the United Presbyterian Church and The United
Church of Christ, has an unusual history that is linked to the iron industry in the
late 18 th , 19 th and early 20 th centuries when the area was a working farm known
as Bunker Hill Farm. The history continues with a Civilian Conservation Corps
Camp (CCC) during the Great Depression and a secret Prisoner of War Inter-
rogation Camp during World War II before the advent of the church camp.
