BSA Camp McKinley Information Camp McKinley is operated by the Buckeye Council, Inc., Boy Scouts of America. The camp includes the stone mansion and the remains of the Rebecca blast furnace built in the early 1800s by Gideon Hughes in the early days of New Lisbon. The Stone House (known as the McKinley homestead) was later owned by President William McKinley s grandparents, and the future president probably spent time getting to know this area. The Sandy & Beaver canal was built in the area during the mid 1800s. Several canal locks with cut-stone walls can still be found on camp property. The Boy Scouts of America obtained the property in It has been a local camp, a summer camp, the local scout office, and is now often used as a training facility. The pool will not be open for the weekend, but the rest rooms and showers at the pool house are available. Catch and release fishing is permitted without a license in the stocked lake. In keeping with BSA policy, no alcohol is permitted in the camp.
