Campground: Shelburne Camping Area
Many local senior citizens remember when land on both sides of Shelburne Road (U.S. 7) was open farm land. This started changing in the mid ‘20’s when on this property, where the Dutch Mill Restaurant - Motel - Shelburne Camping Area now stand, the original windmill building & 25 overnight cottages were built in a crscent lined with poplar trees. Two houses were built & each was destroyed by fire. A third house was built with 12 rooms where the Bissonettes raised three sons & a daughter. In 1982, the house was remodeled into the present gray office building just north of this restaurant. The cottages were the only accommodations of their kind in the northeast. There were two outhouses which were the only toilet facilities for the whole complex. The linens were laundered & hung to dry along the walk down through the spacious lawn. Many fascinating stories have been told about activities during the prohibiition days. Seniors also relate to the thrills of seeing the lighted dome & windmill blades.
