Bigwin Inn was opened to the public on June 26, 1920, on Bigwin Island on Lake of Bays. It was built by Charles Orlando Shaw who was a major shareholder of the Huntsville, Lake of Bays and Lake Simcoe Navigation Company and manager of the Anglo-
Canadian Leather Company, the largest maker of sole leather in the British Empire, and the Anglo-Canadain Concert Band. Much of the produce for the Bigwin dining room was grown at the Bigwin Farm, located on land across the river from the tannery (Anglo-Canadian Leather Company), in Huntsville. Fifty Holstein cows provided the milk for cream and butter. The fresh vegetables and dairy products were loaded onto the steamer Algonquin at the steamer wharf. The large concrete barn on the farm was remodelled and is now a commercial building still standing at the corner of Centre Street and Dairy Lane. Charles Orlando Shaw died in 1942. Bigwin Inn closed its doors in 1968. (Muskoka Digital Archives).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
