Singer Castle on the seven-acre Dark Island includes a four-story, 28-room castle and related structures. It remained in the possession of the original owners, the Bourne family, from its construction in 1905 until the mid-1960s. Frederick Bourne was the fifth president of the Singer Sewing Machine Co.
Thousand Islands Winery, owned and operated by Steve and Erika Conaway, opened to the public in 2003 and now produces more than 50,000 gallons of wine annually and 23 varieties ranging from dry to fruit and dessert wines.

Construction on the ornate Boldt Castle began in 1900 by hotel magnate George C. Boldt as a tribute to his beloved wife Louise who, sadly, died several months before the estate was completed.
