About Us

The Old Depot was built in 1839 by lumber baron Philemon Wright and it was later operated under the direction of E.B. Eddy. In addition to functioning as a depot, it also housed the Post Office, the forge and a general store. Many "coureurs des bois", loggers and lumberjacks walked the floors of the depot as evidenced by some of the original flooring that remains today. The Old Depot was declared a Heritage Site by the Municipality of Otter Lake because of its historical significance to the area.  Jerry and Joanne Dubeau purchased the property in 2007 and have worked for years to restore and preserve this beautiful hand hewed square timber building.
