In the 1940s, it was the site of Camp 21, a Civilian Public Service camp for Conscientious Objectors that took over the abandoned CCC facility during World War II .[4] [5] [6] Residents of the camp included architect Kemper Nomland , actor Lew Ayres , politician George Brown, Jr. , and actor, director and playwright Kermit Sheets .
