Interesting has been the history of Horseshoe Farm, now the property of the Chester County Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America and the camping grounds of Chester County Scouts. Early American Pioneers, marching westward into Lancaster County, marveled at the perfect horseshoe formed by the Octoraro Creek at a point where the public road from Port Deposit to Lancaster crossed it by the fording. For three and a half miles this beautiful woodland stream took its graceful bend, almost forming a complete circle, and no wonder the weary traveler tarried on his way to admire nature's handiwork.
In 1826 the property was conveyed by Samuel Reynolds to his son Ira. Much of the farm was still covered with a fine stand of timber. Ira Reynolds commenced his task by cutting cord wood and hauling it to the Reynolds' Pottery below Rock Springs, the old Reynolds' homestead. When the ground was cleared, rye was the principle crop planted. Ira Reynolds continued clearing, meanwhile building a large double-deck barn, a wagon shed and a smoke house. Little by little the beautiful and fertile Horseshoe Farm took shape, and ever since the place has been known far and wide by the now familiar name.
Ira Reynolds turned the property over to his son, B. F. Reynolds, who continued to keep up the fine standard of farming exemplified by his forefathers. At one time he surveyed the narrows of the hill with the intention of tunneling it for water power. The length of the tunnel would have been three hundred sixty foot.
For a long time the farm was widely advertised for its water power and mineral supply, and in 1903 the place was sold to the Tyson Mining Company for its minerals. Among these were low grade ores of many kinds, including gold. The project, however, was shortly abandoned.
When the Chester County Council set out to secure a camp location closer to their county seat then Camp Rothrock, Mr. Reynolds suggested Horseshoe Farm. To his keen delight the Council's committee finally made its decision in favor of the old Octararo Farm.
The deal was consummated in 1928 and work began in earnest under the direction of Robert Wolcott, President; J. Gibson McIlvain, Treasurer; Gilbert McIlvaine, Architect; C. M. Heistand, Scout Executive and many others.
