They farmed the land for three generations until selling to inventor James B. Kirby in 1919. With the fortune he made from vacuum cleaners and washing machines, Kirby built a home above his patented lake, powered it with electricity from his experimental mill, and invited friends to dance on his spring-loaded dance floor. Cleveland Girl Scouts turned the property into Camp Julia Crowell in 1937. In 1957, the Scouts purchased the adjoining remnant of the Neal estate, named the new addition Hilaka, and upgraded for the possibility of making Crowell Hilaka an international destination. The people of Richfield reclaimed the green space and the history when they voted to buy the former camp in 2014. The property is now a public park.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn Scholle Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540248658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540248657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Pub (Sc)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Lynn Scholle Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067332423935,"sku":"9781540248657","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8e9d899-0140-475a-8a9d-9f7778965b7f.jpg?v=1685412596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crowell-hilaka-and-the-richfield-lynn-scholle-richardson-9781540248657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
