November 13, 1928 Robert Denniston leased the land from Horace B. Morrison. Mr. Denniston was a friend of the Bacons
who have an island on Nicatous Lake.

1929 he built Camp Nicatous for boys ages 8-17, that ran until 1937. In the spring and fall he ran it as a sporting camp.

1937 the boys camp went out of business but in 1938 Jack and Cissie Williams purchased all the buildings(not the land) from the bank and continued to run it as a sporting camp. Adjacent to Nicatous Lodge was Charlie Potter's place and in 1941 Mr. Williams bought Potters camps.

1944 the main lodge and one cabin burned to the ground and was rebuilt in Spring 1945.
With a loss from the fire Mr. Williams sold Potters side to Duffy and Judy Lewis. 1947 Duffy purchased the main lodge and camp from Jack williams and the land from the bank.

1947 Duffy then sold Potter's side to Kay Chamberlin (grand-daughter of western explorer Horace Greely) for an anniversary gift for her husband Harmon.

1954 Bill Bruglas take over Nicatous Lodge from Duffy until 1958 when the Chamberlin's took over both camps on the northern shores of the lake.
