In 1886, Charles Parrish bought two acres of land from Jim Taylor for $125.00. Parrish and his wife Elizabeth built a house that included a saloon and dance floor. It was also the post office for a short time. Later the property became known as Bijou House.
In 1887, Anthony Ramsey built a hotel just west of the Bijou House called "Dashaway Hall" and was really a "happening place" during the summer months.
The property was purchased in 1902 by Charles Young and then in 1908 two of his grandsons joined the venture and purchased an additional 33 acres. The resort was named Young's Bijou Lodge.
The large dance hall that became known as Bal-Bijou fetured big-name bands for many years and is now the Long's Drug store South of this location.
