About Thatcher’s Island:
“Of the present private camps on Blue Mountain Lake, the one on Thatcher’s Island is the oldest. The original cabin was built in 1867. Intact except for the replacement of worn out logs, it is the front porch of the camp that now stands on the island. The rear part of the camp was added in 1879. The Thatcher’s continued as summer residents of the island for sixty-eight years.” Taken from Township 34 by Harold Hochschild
