Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel & Crematorium
A historical landmark built in 1906 by James Shannon for his wife and nine children. He had purchased the land and a team of horses for $40 in 1895. The family kept the property for three generations, using part of it as a campground in the early 20th century. In 1930, they built the Maple Leaf Motel on the property to generate some income. In 1990 a local family bought the property. With a view toward keeping the prominent property as part of the community, they adapted it as the Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel & Crematorium.
