HistoryThe land was homesteaded by the Bogel family early in the century. A girls camp was built by two Texas women - c 1930 - and named the place. In 1989, the Jefferson County School District bought it for school field trips. It is now called Windy Peak Outdoor Laboratory School (or Jefferson County Outdoor Laboratory School).
