Scugog’s Lost Treasure Although the property still exists to this day - Seven Mile Island, the once. magnificent estate home of Alex and Mary Wilson, this treasure now pales in comparison to its heyday from the 1920s through the 1950s. Seven Mile Island is an isolated 26 acre parcel of land located about seven miles north of Port Perry which is ac- cessed by a long, narrow causeway from Scugog Island (pictured left). The Wilson’s transformed the former hunting/fishing camp into a paradise with walkways, colourful floral gardens, reflect- ing pools, statues, arbors and spacious lawns overlooking Lake Scugog. Over the next couple of months Focus on Scugog will present a history, with pic- tures, of the magnicent Seven Mile Island. The story begins on the following page. 28 FOCUS - JUNE 2010 ee
