One such club, the Tatassit Canoe Club, was founded by a group of men in 1889, and the group built a clubhouse on Plum Island in 1891. By 1928, the club had disbanded and the land was bought and developed into the Tatassit Bathing Beach, which boasted the Monster Water Toboggan and the Aerial Chute. The old clubhouse was transformed into a nightclub and restaurant called the Hi-Hat.
