Toledo Yacht Club among oldest in North America
The Toledo Yacht Club is among the oldest yacht clubs in North America. It was founded in 1865 when two rowing clubs, the Undines and the Naiads, joined together and turned their attention to sailing. The first club house was erected in 1878 on Gard Island near the mouth of the Ottawa River. In 1906, fire completely destroyed the club and all of its historic contents. By 1906, a new steel reinforced concrete Spanish style clubhoused was build on the site. The historic building still remains basically the same, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976
