The Natural History of the Cornelia Warren Estate: Camp Cedar Hill, Girl Scouts of Eastern North America by Lesley Sneddon Now Available! Camp Cedar Hill is a portion of the former estate of Cornelia Warren . In keeping with her desire to maintain the land for public benefit, Ms. Warren wished to carry this tradition beyond her life by stating so in her will.

To this day, Cornelia Warren’s legacy of philanthropy and social welfare continue to benefit the residents of Waltham and beyond.
