The large veranda of this elegant lodge (like the Boldt Castle summer home in the Thousand Islands that we toured last summer) suggest that the wealthy entertained on a lavish scale a hundred years ago!
We didn't have time to stay for the musical tea - but peeked in at the tables set in readiness.
Next time we'll plan for a longer stay!
We did, however, wander upstairs, where the rooms have been turned into a family museum.
There we saw some of the relics of life as it was a hundred years ago, like this hand-embroidered violin pad...
... and we caught a glimpse of the woman responsible for creating the Reford Gardens, pictured here in her earlier years, together with her two young sons.
I couldn't help but photograph this old truck parked outside the house...
It reminds me of one in our family photo album!
