Crew 50 is sponsored by the Succop Conservancy. The Conservancy was established for the purpose of providing an environmental and cultural education center for the community.
The centerpiece of this 50-acre estate is a stately 170-year old mansion that can be rented for your next important event. This spacious facility, tastefully decorated in traditional style with art and antiques in numerous rooms located throughout the first floor, is the perfect setting for virtually any occasion.
Crew 50 meets at this facility on Airport Road south of Butler. They have identified projects oriented toward supporting the dual goals of environmental and cultural education.
The first major project was to restore a hay wagon that was included in the original donation of the property. The hay wagon is over 100 years old. The crew learned period skills like blacksmithing and woodworking to restore the wagon to its original appearance.
The first step was cleaning the decades of dirt off the wagon.
Period nails were salvaged and more were made by hand
Nails and other hardware were recreated at the forge
Venturers, advisors and conservancy staff work together for the goal
Even money earning is historical - hand-made soap!
