Cedar Creek Yacht Club

It became the dream of a dozen or so men who were members of the Davidson County Sportsman Club to form a club to fish, boat and enjoy the in-coming lake. Groups of interested members began scouting the land, looking for potential sites. The ringleader and driving force in the development of the club was Frank Davis.W. E. Jones, manager of the Church Street office of Third National Bank pledged his bank stock and borrowed $10,000 to buy the land. To understand the magnitude of that risk, just think what approximately 80 acres of potential lakefront property would cost today. It was a gamble.The Charter was formed on September 23, 1953, and the first meeting of the incorporators was held on October 13, 1953. Once the land was surveyed and purchased, the real work began. Committees were formed to sell memberships at $25 per year in order to someday buy back the land from Mr. Jones.
