Camp O'Ryan

Camp O'Ryan is a 375-acre (1.52 km2) former New York National Guard training area, also known as the North Java Rifle Range and the Wethersfield Rifle Range, located 3 miles (4.8 km) east of North Java, in the Town of Wethersfield, in the County of Wyoming in New York State.

Camp O'Ryan, which was opened in late 1949 or early 1950, was initially called the Wethersfield training area.

It was designed for the New York Division of Military and Naval Affairs by the Army Corps of Engineers[1] , and was almost completely built by the end of 1949.

He then read a letter from Governor Dewey which said in part "I know that your name—given to this New York National Guard camp—will serve to keep those soldierly qualities which you represent forever present in the minds of all the young and patriotic citizen-soldiers who will train here through future years.

Besides the alleged burials, lead waste from expended ammunition is still present at the abandoned rifle range as of Spring 2007.
