Historic narrative:
"Bonniecastle" originated on 57 acres of Sodus Bay waterfront property purchased in 1887. It was developed as a resort with a hotel and four summer homes. Guests would travel to "Bonniecastle" by horse and carriage or by steamboat from Sodus Point. During the 1890's and the early 1900's, "Bonniecastle" was a well-known flourishing resort area, and the Pendleton family home and guest house are two of the original four homes that are pictured on several postcards of that era. Bonnie Castle Farm continues to retain its "turn-of-the-century" flavor today.
