The White Lady's Castle (PHOTO BELOW)
The 3 Lakes Pavilion is the site of the wall some refer to as the "White Lady's Castle." According to legend, it is the remaining foundation of Eelisa's home. Some stories claim that the "castle" was actually a hotel at one point. The truth is neither. The wall at the 3 Lakes Pavilion was built in 1911. It was not a foundation, it was a lookout point for the refectory pavilion that once stood a short ways behind it. The refectory pavilion was a covered dining area for parties and picnickers. A canon was once mounted in the middle parapet of the wall. According to some stories, the canon was actually functional and was placed there as a defense against possible invasion by Canadians across the lake. More likely the canon was retired prior to being placed at the park as decoration.
