Summary[edit]

Description

Mike Schwager (aka Bon Echo Mike) was the caretaker at the Bon Echo Inn property under the direction of Merrill Denison. Merrill announced in 1959 he was giving the Bon Echo property to the Department of Lands and Forests to be protected and used by the people of Ontario.

In the early days of Bon Echo Provincial Park the administration was handled by the Tweed Land and Forests Office. This photo shows Mike Schwager with Marion Devolin (left), Wanda Franks (2nd from left) and Sheila Mumby (far right). All women assisted with the early set-up of Bon Echo.

During the 50th Anniversary of Bon Echo on July 21st, 2015, Lisa Roach, NHE Leader gave a PowerPoint presentation on the history of Bon Echo and featured this photo. All three women were in attendance as special invited guests.
