With the arrival of the railroad in 1892, Big Moose quickly changed into an area of tourism. Business opportunities blossomed for guides and early settlers, as they expanded their skill sets to build several hotels and cottages on the pristine shores of Big Moose Lake. As you cruise along, you will explore many of the structures built by earlier settlers such as Henry & Earl Covey, EJ Martin, and Roy Higby. Finally, what would our tour be without the tale of the famous "Great American Tragedy" of Grace Brown and Chester Gillette. Your guide will take you through the details leading up to the murder, after the murder, and the trial that followed, as you visit the location where Grace's body was first discovered.
