Baker's Point Since 1915

In 1915, Jane Baker Stott’s great, great Uncle Fred built the Baker cottage for his young wife Emily Cockfield. Her own family cottage was directly across the lake. She wanted the exact replica built on the eastern shore of the Big Rideau to enjoy the glorious sunsets. Since that time, the property lovingly passed through the generations, always a place for family gatherings, celebrations and a source of invaluable memories.

Enjoy this account of the history of the Baker family on the Big Rideau as shared by Jane Baker Stott. Jane now lives full time on the lake in a home built near the site of the original Baker cottage.
