followed by a
social hour with refreshments. There is no charge.
Since 1942, the Catoctin Mountains have provided presidents of the United
States with a respite from the pressures and stresses of Washington, D.C.
Camp David—formerly Shangri-La—has evolved from a highly secret,
rustic facility to a resort-like mountain retreat, easily reached from the nation’s
capital.
Established during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the “camp” was
originally reached via a two-hour
drive from Washington, through
Frederick and Thurmont. Today, it is
minutes away from the White House
via helicopter.
This presentation will trace the
fascinating 75-year history of Camp
David, detailing the day-to-day
activities of its occupants and the
momentous decisions and events that
have taken place there. In addition to
anecdotes about the chief executives
and their families, highlights include
FDR’s wartime deliberations with
Winston Churchill, Eisenhower’s
talks with Soviet leader Nikita
Khrushchev, Nixon’s intense days at
Camp David during the Watergate
crisis, and Carter’s successful efforts
to piece together the Camp David
Accords with Anwar Sadat and
Menachim Begin.
The presentation will be held
at 7:30 p.m. at the Myersville Fire
Hall, located at 301 Main Street in
Myersville.
