In the Late 1800's The Wellwood Club was originally a private Hunting and Fishing Club that was established as "An organization of optimists and humanitarians in the broadest sense. Its purpose is to promote the 'happy' habit; to reduce the friction of life to a minimum and increase the pleasure of existence to the maximum; to discourage strife and promote good fellowship." The second floor of The Wellwood holds rooms named for States that had sent letters to the Club, requesting that a room be named after their state so that their representative would have a place to call "home". The Metz family acquired the Wellwood in 1958. We believe in using only choice meats, fresh seafood and fresh produce in preparing a quality meal for you & your guests. We hope to always make your visit special
