A Brief History Of The Lake Norconian Resort
  In the 1920's an enterprising man named Rex B. Clark set in motion a chain of events which continues today - from 700 acre playground of the rich and famous, to a Navy rehabilitation hospital which helped influence communicable disease treatments cures and preventions, to the Navys premiere assessment center and state-of-the-art measurement lab, to a ground-breaking drug rehabilitation prison. Sadly, the once magnificent grounds and buildings have fallen into disrepair through simple neglect. Our mission is simply to reverse this trend, stop the destruction, and preserve the site and the millions of dollars worth of art and materials which make up this once regal site.We Need Your Help, Stories, And Artifacts
