Leidheiser Farm, and later Resort, stood to the east of Chestnut Grove, where Mariner’s Point Condos are today.
The farm was established by Henry and Elizabeth Leidheiser, German immigrants, and their children were Henry, Elizabeth, Amelia, Freda, and Louis.
A brochure for the inn tells the story. This is most likely from the late 1920s, after the Leidheisers but before the inn became known as the Lakeside Lodge.
The Leidheiser Farm provided fresh vegetables and dairy to other guest houses on The Strip. The farm stood just east of Chestnut Grove and marked the start of the tourist area along the strip. Sturgeon Point condos stand there now.
