Perry County’s Camp Ouachita, a Girl Scout camp constructed over a four-year period starting in 1936, was closed in 1979 after having provided outdoor activities for thousands of young scouts over the years. In 1992, the area was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and it is being restored as the Camp Ouachita National Historic District. Shown here is the camp entrance sign in 1959.
