As a way to relax, in 1917 he bought a fishing lodge on Fowl River that he called Bellcamp. This image shows the home that the Bellingrath's lived in while at their fish camp. From 1917 to 1932, Bellingrath and his wife, Bessie Morse Bellingrath, turned their lodge from the humble place it began into a world-class garden, which they opened to the public in 1932. |
