Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Demand for outdoor recreation facilities is growing rapidly. Population, leisure time, mobility, and disposable income (spending money) are on the increase. More people are going more places and spending more time and money on recreation than ever before. Types of outdoor summer recreation activities most popular in 1960 were driving for pleasure, swimming, walking for pleasure, playing outdoor games or sports, sightseeing, picnicking, fishing, and boating. “Outdoor recreation activity, already a major part of American life, will triple by the year 2000.” Farms can and do provide vacation facilities for some or all of the popular recreation activities. An analysis was made of the development of local farm vacation associations and of experiences of farm owners providing such facilities. These farms are located in East Central Ohio, where the Switzerland of Ohio Farm Vacation Association was formed in 1960 in Monroe and Belmont Counties. This was probably the first local association of farm families who provide vacation facilities. Similar associations later were formed in Carroll, Guernsey, and Noble Counties. Farm vacation developments in these five counties are the focal point of the study.
