In 1967, a man by the name of Jack Messick opened a restaurant called The Boat House. Meanwhile, next door at the Arco gas station, three brothers- Bob, Jack, and Jimmy Campbell were hard at work pumping gas and fixing cars. Mr. Messick was one of their regular customers. One day, he came to the station and said that he “had enough” and it was time for him to move on. In 1972, the Campbell brothers, along with their parents Rose and Bill, purchased “Campbell’s” Boat House.
Now the 3rd generation is stepping in. We plan on keeping “The Boat” sailing for another 30 years.
