When Anne Langton stayed at James Wallis’ house (the Fenelon Museum), she wrote in her journal,
On Thursday, we went by invitation to see Fenelon Falls and dine with Mr. Wallis… We walked about, and visited the new house of our entertainer, which is rather further advanced that our own. Its situation is extremely pretty, on a little plain, thinly scattered with trees, affording a natural lawn… it is a very pretty place.
