You’ll find a brief history of the Ben Lomond Quaker Center below. However, Quaker Center is very fortunate to have had a book written about its early years. John and Betty Devalcourt were directors of Quaker Center in the early 1980s, and John wrote a history covering the Center’s origins through the devolvement from the American Friends Service Committee in 1982. The book is reproduced here in its entirety; let us know if you’d like us to mail you a copy.
