Description
The Corn Crib cabin at Camp Oolenoy at Table Rock State Park, in Pickens, South Carolina.
After the harvest, corn, still on the cob, is placed in the crib either with or without the husk. The typical corn crib has slats in its walls. These slatted sides of the corn crib allow air to circulate through the corn, both allowing it to dry initially and helping it to stay dry. The slats expose the corn to pests, so corn cribs are elevated above the ground beyond the reach of rodents.
Camp Oolenoy was purchased and directed by Elizabeth Ellison (1918 - 2004), originally of Easley, SC. The program was designed for 7th grade students at Greenville Junior High School. The program gained national attention.
