The Ontario Department of
ublic Works had purchased 375
cres of Lake Huron shoreline five
files north of Goderich for a
rovincial. Park s with almost a
ile of clear sand beach.
This was regaided as a choice
iece of property with a long
istbry in the' Goderich area, It
was formerly a private resort
known as 'Pointe Farms; In recent
years the ,old "hotel had been torn
down but there remained ;bads;
trails , wood-Jots and landscaping •
-to give the Department of Lands
and Forests a good start in devel-
oping a fine 'park.
The property had been, owned
since' 1937 by Bisset Brothers, who'.
purchased it from O.E.Fleming
and was the site of the first sum-
mer resort ever established in
Western Ontario.
The original. Pointe Farm HOte
was built by a man named Davis„
who was droWned while bringing
supplies 'from Goderich in a row -
boat one night during a storm.
After this: hotel btirned down a
man by the, name of J. J. Wright
built a huge hcitel for' thos,e days.
It had 200 guests and a dining
room Capable of accomodating
300 diners at one sitting. He ran
a passenger bus 'service between
Pointe Farms and Goderich for the
accomodation of guests. In addi-
tion a small steam yacht operated
betWeen the hotel and Goderich.
Picnicers came from miles
around to enjoy, a day's outing at
the Pointe Farm resort. As Many'
as 2000 people would gather on
'the grounds at one time.
