The “Main Inn” house of Inn at the Falls was built in 1870 by a local named John Adair, then later purchased by a local Judge named William Crosby Mahaffy.
Judge Mahaffy was a larger than life character in Bracebridge. Turned the home into a center of politics. Then he died away from the home, while visiting England for medical reasons. The staff are convinced he came back to the Inn at the Falls.
