Amazing Grace Baptist Church Camp

Amazing Grace Baptist Church camp was formerly the farm of W.H. “Dad” Martin, noted Ottawa photographer of tall tale postcards and founder of National Sign Co. In the 1930s Martin served free meals here to persons in need. Food was provided by Ottawa merchants and the produce of Martin’s many farms. An early log cabin, renovated as a Martin home, burned in 1945. A house and barn still stand. The red barn was a popular restaurant in the 1960s.
