Rebuilt Brookdale Lodge Opens Doors June 15

The Lodge is scheduled to re-open after being rebuilt from a fire in October of 1956. The owner kept many of the features of the old lodge with the trees and creek inside the dining room. However, he also added store fronts and an old times feel along the walls so that the diner feels like they are eating in a village.
