The society’s summer history camp is named in memory of Charles E. Page. Page, a native of Madison County, operated a farm for 20 years until he was appointed Farm Employment Representative in the state Department of Labor. His passion for learning and teaching history is best recounted by his children who fondly remember their father instilling in them the importance of teaching respect for every aspect of our heritage.
