Map of the Clubhouses & other points of interest  

This a list of some of the clubs that are known to date. Locations are from different sources and from a map that David Burns had pin pointed the weed patches, fishing holes by the names he had tagged them by what he had called them by and he had also pin pointed the places of some of the locations for the clubs. By the time I found the map in the carport - it was beyond saving I took what I could read off of it and placed it onto the small map that was found in the "An Early History Lake Maxinkuckee "

In an article on Lake Maxinkuckee from the Anderson Herald in 1881 this is found:

CLUB HOUSE ON THE LAKE.

There are now five clubs house on the lake, some of them capable of accoomdating from seventy-five to one hundred gueests; about adozen pretty cottages, and a score of tents. When all these places are filled, as they have been s ince the middle of July, it makes quite a little village.

The clubs are composed of from ten to fiften shareholders, shares costing from $100 to $250, according to the house location, etc. The stockholders are then entitled to transportation and board at very low rates. Some of the clubs being out of debt, receive boarders except quests of members; others not so well situated financially, are taking boarders to enanble them to get a more independent footing; some of thises make the great mistake made by every hotel at a summer resort, viz: taking a greater number of guests than they can accommodate, and at times such luxuries as rest and quiet are unknown.

The clubs are the:
"Highland" and
"Bay View" from Indianapolis;/ol>
"Peru House"
and "Lake View", from Plymouth,
and a small club from Logansport.
