History
Mary Mould had been vacationing at Lake Teedyuskung for years when she married Harry Kiesendahl in 1944. They settled on Long Island where they raised their 3 children, John, Nancy, and Steve. Harry saw an ad in the New York Times for a small boarding house for sale on Lake Teedyuskung. Soon after, The Kiesendahls purchased the resort. In 1958, Mary and the children moved to the resort while Harry commuted from Long Island on the weekends. Its original 12 acres (49,000 m2) consisted of a main lodge, an annex, and two cottages, which could accommodate 40 guests. There was no running water and only one year-round employee.
In 1959, Marry and Harry Kiesendahl were joined by friends Don and Marge Kranich. After a few years of building, Woodloch Pines had doubled in size. By 1983, the resort covered 150 acres (0.61 km2), 1-mile (1.6 km) of shoreline on Lake Teedyuskung, and had 135 guest rooms. Woodloch currently sits on 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) and can accommodate over 900 guests. Woodloch is still run by the Kiesendahl family, with son John as the current president and CEO.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
