In the 1940s, the farm became home to Camp William James, a base for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Inspired by William James' essay The Moral Equivalent of War, the camp brought together in winter Dartmouth and Harvard students for apprenticeships with local farm youth, promoting national service in peacetime. This ethos later influenced the creation of the Peace Corps in 1961. It is said that Eleanor Roosevelt visited the camp one winter and famously used the two-holer outhouse in the backyard. Tunbridge is the home of the Tunbridge World's Fair and The Ranger, a gravel bike ride. 39 minutes from Dartmouth College, and less than 2.5 hours from Boston.
