Beck's Grove was established on the banks of Fish Creek in the
middle of a huge group of towering pines during the Depression
and Prohibition days of the 1930s by Louie Beck. There were
no paved highways to Beck's Grove at that time, but it soon
became a favorite for clambakes and summer outings for the many
factories and mills in the area. Clambakes started early in
the morning with breakfast and lasted into the evening with
plenty of food and lots of clams, all for two dollars per person
(clams were half-a-penny apiece then). Slot machines, home brew,
and moonshine (although illegal at that time) were in plentiful
supply and good times were had by all.
Dinner theater with the Chatham Theater Company started at Beck's
Grove in 1985. Today, several hundred motorcoaches from New
York State and throughout the Northeast make their way to Beck's
Grove every year.
