Lake Bluff

History

The Lake Bluff Camp Meeting Association was formed and the little settlement of Rockland was renamed "Lake Bluff."  The Association planned a resort similar to the Chautauqua movement in the east, one that would provide not only religious activities but also social, cultural, educational and recreational programs.
