Re-Discovering our Past
History ~ Cabin Property
We have only just begun… and need your help! Do you know the HISTORY of your cabin property? The following was gleaned from old Diamond Lakers newsletters and old stories (some are found on our website.) This list begins with one of the oldest known properties (top of left-hand column), and works its way clockwise around the lake (continuing on the right-hand column). You might find mistakes. Dates and names are missing. Hopefully you know more. Please submit updates to our webmaster, Beth Johnson, at sboyumj@gmail.com Updates will continue on this site.
