camp toccoa at Currahee Project
OUR MASTER PLAN
When you see and read about the scope of this project, you may wonder how something of this magnitude can be accomplished by volunteers in a small Northeast Georgia town. Our commitment to the preserving this historically significant Camp and the legacy of the "Toccoa Men" is unwavering. Here's our The Master Plan (see concept design below) and the status of each phase:
THE ARCHWAY & GUARD SHACK
The archway at the entrance to the camp has been constructed and is now in place. The guard shack has been constructed from original camp materials and welcomes visitors at the entrance.
THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS
The only remaining original Camp Toccoa building is renovated and bathrooms, showers, and HVAC, have been installed. A Barracks Gift Shop and a video/ white board system has been added to show visitors camp history and plans. The floor in the main area has been sealed. A mock living with bunks has been added as well. The building is being used and is also available for meetings, reunions and special events.
WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
THE PAVILION
The Appalachian Regional Commission gave a $54,500 grant to the project to construct a pavilion that seats 450-500. With the help of numerous volunteers, generous donors and quality contractors, the facility is now completed and far exceeds our initial design. The pavilion has hosted several veterans gatherings and is available for groups to rent.
THE BARRACKS
Barrack 1 has been constructed using panels from original Camp Toccoa structures. Barracks 1 & 4 are completed and available for overnight stay.
