The original Mattabesett Canoe Club dates back to 1896, when it was started as a private canoe club on the banks of the Connecticut River. Meetings were held in a building at the rivers edge in a small clubhouse built for four hundred dollars on land rented from the Davis family for eighty dollars a year. Officials of the club had to live within six miles of the clubhouse, own a boat, pay dues and be actively involved. The property was purchased in 2010 and extensive renovations where done to improve the overall appearance from a decade of neglect. Today, the historic property is a community gathering spot and tourist destination for people of all ages. From boaters, bikers and babies, the restaurant is a place for all to enjoy. It features araw bar, a BBQ grille and an extensive selection of seafood.
