Room history
Eagles Mere was founded based on high quality glass production. George Lewis was an Englishman, living in New York City at the time, and heard about the Lake’s natural white sand on the north end. He had previously purchased some 10,000 acres from the descendants of William Penn and later formed a community in 1803 known as “Lewis Lake”, building a glass factory on the south end of the Lake. Including orchards and farms, the town reached a population of up to 250 people. Glass was shipped for sale, primarily to Philadelphia, over harsh country roads by horse and wagon. Transportation losses given Eagles Mere’s distance from markets were severe. After the War of 1812, the impracticality of the manufacturing and shipping closed the business of the Lewis Glass Works. The original housing and barns remained for many years.
