Historic Harder Hall, partially renovated but abandoned because of the developer's financial problems, is on the northwest shore.

In 1928 Harder Hall, a classic Spanish Style hotel and golf resort, was built on the shore of Little Lake Jackson.

Other famous guests of the hotel were Paul Newman, Steve Mcqueen, Ali MacGraw and Mario Andretti.

Victor and Eva Jacobson also operated Harder Hall Golf and Tennis Camp at the hotel between 1967 and 1980.

This was the first and last co-ed, teenage golf and tennis camp in a resort hotel ever and drew campers from all over the world.
