The "Rock Hill Lodge" was a fixture
in the Mohegan area. It was constructed in the early 1800s on the
property of Countess B.F. de Nemours. Some locals speculate it was a
gift to the widow of a French officer who fought in the American
Revolution. It became the Rock Hill Lodge, one of several local resort
hotels, currently the Holland Sporting Club. Thanks to the efforts of
local volunteers and the Town of Yorktown, the property is slated for
preservation -- though some people are proposing this fine old building
be razed.
