The Rockville Post
Office, (Hopkinton
Township - Washington County)
was established on February 13, 1849
under Postmaster Hiram Arnold. This Post Office is
currently in operation under Postmaster Susan M. Walajtys
appointed on January 10, 2004.
Rockville
is the home to one of the nation's finest Boy Scout camping
areas, Yawgoog Scout Camp.
Yawgoog was established and first opened for camping in 1916.
The site is located on and around the old
Palmer Farm,
(300 acres) and with later additions now encompasses over 1800
acres. Yawgoog is divided into three separate camps;
Three Point,
Sandy Beach
and Medicine Bow.
The LaFayette Scout Troop
that I was a member of did not use this camp. Our troop used
Camp Aquapaug
located on Worden's pond in the Great Swamp area. |
