This transaction was an extremely lucky turn of events for the organization. Camp Kiwanee's Needles Lodge has been on the National Register of Historic Properties since February of 2005. It's the very first Hanson property to be included in the register, and for good reason: this much-loved building and its surrounding area are truly a gem. Originally owned by Albert Burrage, a lawyer and businessman from Boston, the land was purchased in 1899. He and his family spent their summers there until a fire destroyed the house and its contents in 1907. Burrage rebuilt the house and added a stone firehouse and cottage, all finished by 1908. In 1922, he sold the property to Camp Fire Girls on a whim, thinking Hanson was taxing him too heavily. This fortunate decision has made a great difference to the organization.

Steve Ferroli has an incredible story to tell. As a young camp counselor at Ted Williams Camp in Lakeville, MA, he experienced something that he will never forget.

The relationship between Ferroli and Williams is reminiscent of the bond between ET and the young boy Elliot in the movie ET.
