Linglewood Lodge

Linglewood Lodge is a recreational gaming and environmental-enthusiast area set in Shawville, Pennsylvania.
History
The lodge was originally constructed in 1954 with further renovations in 1981 and occupied by Benson Lingle until his death on February 2, 2007. The 14,000 square foot main lodge is best known for top-notch Pennsylvania gaming and traditional family-style meals for up to 150 guests throughout the year. At one of the initial gatherings in 1955, a local, highly-regarded physician slipped into one of the property streams and separated his shoulder. In addition, Linglewood has played host to politically-engaged guests, including former United States Senators and Congressmen and Pennsylvania legislators, international political leaders, celebrities, and religous-faith leaders.
The lodge
Several other cabanas are located throughout the hundreds of contiguous acres Linglewood occupies. This land occupies a large stretch of Little Trout Run, a tributary of the West Branch of the Suquehanna River.
Linglewood has been featured in outdoor writer and photographer Charles Alsheimer's photography. Mr. Alsheimer claimed Mr. Lingle, "played a huge part in making my career what it is".
Henry (deceased), one of the many deer raised at Linglewood, is widely regarded as Pennsylvania’s oldest white-tail deer on record and arguably the nation’s oldest. Leonard Lee Rue, III features a photo of Mr. Lingle with his prize white-tail deer, displaying 17 of the 20 racks in the main dining room at Linglewood Lodge
