Quail Hunts Draw Northern Elite to Mackay Lodge
The Mackay Deep River lodge near Jamestown draws wealthy hunters from Winston-Salem and Thomasville. Clarence H. Mackay and famed architect Stanford White led a notable group including Edward Armstrong, with visits from John W. Davis, Norman F. Davis, Justice McReynolds, Vincent Astor, and others during the early 1900s. The lodge became a symbol of sporting society as quail thrived on the Mackay preserves.
