Interlochen Center for the Arts says it will tear down lodge formerly named for Jeffrey Epstein

9&10 News

INTERLOCHEN, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan summer arts camp and boarding school where Jeffrey Epstein has been accused of meeting at least two of his victims will tear down a lodge that once bore his name.
The Interlochen Center for the Arts said this week that its board of trustees has approved a plan to demolish the Green Lake Lodge, which had been known as Jeffrey E. Epstein Scholarship Lodge until the school cut ties and scrubbed references to the late millionaire sex offender after his first conviction in 2008.
Epstein attended the Interlochen Arts Camp as a teenager in 1967 and donated more than $400,000 to the school between 1990 to 2003, including $200,000 for the construction of the lodge.
