LODGE ON TOUR

Scenic beauty is reflected in the rustic setting of Pinewood, the Reimers-
Schneider Lodge on Tangipahoa River. The spacious lodge lounge spells hospitality 
for the Christian Church groups, the Boy Scouts, family gatherings and other 
gatherings.

Mrs. Hans Schneider wearing a Dolly Madison inspired Bicentennial dress was 
assisted in receiving by her husband and members of the Christians Womens 
Fellowship.  All were in bicentennial dress.

A Tiffany lamp illuminated the table where a flag flown over the Capital during the 
inauguration of President Dwight Eisenhower given to the late Mr. and Mrs. F. W. 
Reimers by Congressman James H. Morrison was displayed.  An authentic letter from 
George Washington of 1760 was anonymously displayed.

Of interest in the lounge room is a table from a KAI-WII tree from Aruba called 
DIVI DIVI, along with other Hawaiian accents.

Each of the rooms in the lodge feature a different wall paneling including red gum, 
tide water red cypress, Southern Ash and magnolia, all very rare, bearing the 
earmarks of a real lumberman designer.  Plank flooring, also a rarity, covered the 
lounge floor and hardwood oak flooring on other rooms.

The spacious wooded area for the ledge setting includes additional structures 
including the original building, bath houses and cottages surrounding the large 
swimming pool.  The lodge was acquired by the Reimers family about 25 years ago.
