More about Maryboro

Built in 1837 for James Wallis, one of the founders of Fenelon Falls, Maryboro Lodge is one of the community’s oldest surviving buildings. Overlooking Cameron Lake and the Fenelon River, the lodge was built using locally milled timber and originally featured two parlours, a dining room and upstairs bedrooms. A kitchen and servants’ quarters were added a few years later.

Over the decades, Maryboro Lodge served as a family home, community gathering place and, beginning in 1913, a tourist and boarding lodge. The historic building was later restored by the Fenelon Falls Historical Society and opened as a community museum in 1963. Today, Maryboro Lodge continues to preserve and share the history of Fenelon Falls and the surrounding area.
