(Filmed in the August 1995)

Ferndale House on Lake Rosseau, Muskoka Lakes, Ontario, Canada.

Ferndale House was opened in 1880 by R.G. Penson on Lake Rosseau.
Ferndale House was built in 1880. Opened by R.G. Penson it was located on Lake Rosseau. By 1887, dances were held at the hotel every Friday night.
Penson sold the hotel to his son Seymour in 1895, and he ran it until 1905. Seymour tore down the original building and replaced it with a new hotel in 1899.
From 1905 to 1910 John Cope rented the hotel, running it until George Penson took over, operating it for two years.

The hotel was closed from 1912 until 1916, with George Penson using it as a private home.
John Cope bought the hotel in 1916 and ran it for ten years. It was sold to Canadian Keswick, who turned the old hotel into an inter-denominational bible conference centre, the Canadian Keswick Conference Centre.

The conference centre fell victim to a fire in 1945, but was rebuilt with stone.
The Canadian Keswick Conference Centre closed in 1976 and the building was eventually demolished.

Today, the former Ferndale Hotel property is owned by the founder of Mattamy Homes, the largest home builder in Canada. A new “cottage” occupies the property, the largest one on Lake Rosseau.

This is the point of land on Lake Rosseau in Muskoka where the Ferndale House once rested. It was later called the Canadian Keswick Conference Centre and it burned down in 1946. There is now a very large mansion and boathouse on this property.
