Historical “Tent Colony”

The eastern two-thirds of Tent Colony Woods was once the home to a unique summer residential community, the Tent Colony, established for students attending the university’s summer session. Today, as you traverse this narrow shoreline woods along the Lakeshore Path east of Raymer’s Cove, look for clues that reveal something about the lives of these former “tent colonists.” Can it really be true that 300 people once lived here?

The university acquired Tent Colony Woods in 1911, as part of its acquisition of George Raymer’s farm. Some thought the purchase price of $1100 per acre to be outrageous, since the assessed value was closer to $150 per acre. Elected officials and the local papers challenged the university to demonstrate how this expansion along the northern edge of campus was justified.
