Families who spent prime vacation years camping often find they carry a legacy beyond the well-thumbed photo albums and recountings ad nauseum of beautiful sunsets. Like that faint mildew smell in the garage -- perhaps an old canvas tent still squirreled away? Or a basement shelf weighted down with cracked cooking utensils, a clogged gas stove, and a 50-lb. sleeping bag? They'll never use that stuff again. But it can be hard to decide whether to toss, palm off on neighbors, or leave be. Not so for a fellow like Roy B. Heise (1910-1991), who conceived of the visionary Museum of Family Camping Hall of Fame for his own outdoor adventure detritus. Since it opened in 1993, the MFCHF has paid tribute to the greats of America's camping heritage, told the exhilarating story of a nation on the move... and displayed a fascinating bunch of old camping gear. A rustic 1930s log bunkhouse, with green-edged screen windows, is where you'll find the Museum of Family Camping, in a shady stand of pine trees at Bear Brook State Park. Vintage Apache and Airstream trailers are parked out front; if you didn't know this was a museum, you'd think that someone was really camping here. In fact, people ARE inhabiting a few trailers in nooks behind the museum, which can lead to embarrassing encounters ("Quit staring at me! I'm not a diorama."). The HoF trailers are open for inspection and outfitted as they might have been in their heyday, complete with paper towels in the above-sink holders and sheets on the beds.
