- Description
- Fresh air and great fishing drew tourists from as far away as Pittsburgh to Beaumaris. By 1887, The Beaumaris Hotel, pictured in this postcard, was described as one of the finest summer resorts accomodating 150 guests, with Edward Prowse as proprietor. Guests journeyed by train to Gravenhurst, then boarded steamers to reach Beaumaris, the site of many regattas. Unfortunately this hotel met the same fate as many resorts, burning down in July 1945.
