History

Before the clubhouse was erected, the land was named Valhalla by the First Nations. In the ancient Norsemen language, the name translates to the “dwelling place of the Gods.” Later in the 1930s, the stunning house was built on the divine land with the supervision of the head architect, Mr. Francis G. Hasselman. To preserve the prestige of the community, no building was permitted to cost less than 5,000 dollars, a dear sum for its time. No expense was spared while developing the Lake Valhalla Club, and once it opened its doors it entertainment the likes of many families. The house provided a hub for guests to enjoy outdoor activities such as, tennis, fishing, boating, skating, and socializing with likeminded people.
