James & Drusilla Hendricks Camp - Richmond

The Internation Daughters of Utah Pioneers was organized on April 11, 1901 by Annie Taylor Hyde, daughter of LDS Chruch President John Taylor. In 1907, Susa Young Gates, the 4th President of the DUP, met with leaders of the Cache Stake and Benson Stake to organize a camp in Richmond. On Oct 28, 1907, the DUP Camp of Richmond, Utah was organized with Elizabeth A. Merrill, President; Mary Rebecca Stoddard Hendricks, First Counselor; and Margaret R. Roskelley, Second Counselor.

The committee recognized many living Richmond pioneers at the time of its formation, including:

• Mary Elizabeth Matthews • Martha Ann Henderson • Sarah Jane Veach • Mary Jane Andrus • Elizabeth Helen Telford • Anna Elsina Kefoed • Lydia Malinda Knapp • Lydia Standley • Elizabeth Harriett Mahala Gammell • Amanda Ellen Perkins • Almira Davenport • Hannah Melissa Hoopes • Sarah Jennette Carson • Martha Alice Carson • Emmeline Whittle • Marion Drucilla Pew

In 1908, a meeting was held, and it was decided that a relic hall was needed. A committee was organized, and it was decided that the relic hall would be located on city property between Park Elementary and the Tabernacle. The relic hall was finished on Aug 17, 1909. It was a small log cabin with a stone fireplace, mimicking the log cabins that the pioneers constructed. It is speculated that this relic hall was the first built in the State of Utah. 

In 1919, the relic hall had to be moved, as the land it was located on was sold to the Cache County School District. They decided to move the log relic hall behind the Relief Society Hall. The camp decided to purchase the Relief Society Hall and held their first meeting on Aug 7, 1919. The log relic hall was moved behind the Relief Society Hall in 1920, and both buildings were used to store the relics.

In 1929, it was decided to give its camp a unique name. Living Pioneer Lydia Standley was asked to name the camp. She decided to name it the James Hendricks Camp, after the father of Mormon Battalion member and the First Mayor of Richmond, William D. Hendricks.

In February 1936, the James Hendricks Camp applied for a Pioneer Marker for the Richmond Fort. The International Daughters of Utah Pioneers approved of the marker, and Richmond City allowed the marker to be placed in the park where the southwest corner and home of Beason Lewis was located. The rocks used in the marker came from the fort, the old Rock School House, and the Red Brick School Building. The marker was completed on Oct 24, 1936. At the unveiling, Richmond Pioneers Frances A. Bair, William B. Lewis, Margret W. Thomson, and Martha A. Lewis were present.

On Jan 16, 1959, a meeting with Richmond Mayor Ross H. Plant was held. He spoke to the James Hendricks Camp about purchasing the Tithing Office to hold the relics and become the new headquarters of the Camp. The Camp agreed, and on May 23, 1959, the James Hendricks camp moved the relics to the tithing office.

In 1969, the city purchased the Relief Society Hall from the Camp and transformed it into a garage and a junk building. By 1995, the building was in disrepair, and the city was about to give the building to the City Fire Department as a control burn. Members of the Camp pleaded with the city to preserve the building and restore it to its former glory. Richmond Mayor Kip E. Panter decided to save the building, and Maria Lundgreen, Nancy Cornia, and Kathy Jones were the main contributors to the restoration. The building finished its restoration in 1997.

In 2006, the James Hendricks Camp renamed itself the James & Drusilla Hendricks Camp. 

Starting in 2024, the Camp began a major renovation of its inventory and artifacts. They acquired a grant of $5,000 and began reorganizing their artifacts, taking lessons on how to care for their artifacts, purchasing tools to measure humidity and temperature, and asking local historian Bryce Holt (Bryce's History Project: Richmond Encyclopedia) for assistance in knowing who were Richmond Pioneers and who were not. The Daughters completed the work before the 110th anniversary of Black & White Days, 2025. To celebrate the occasion, the city held a ribbon cutting for the renovated building.
