The construction of Passamaquoddy Lodge was possible due to the initiative of the Kiwanis Club of St. Andrews and donations from The Sir James Dunn Foundation, the Seaside Lodge of the Knights of Pithiest as well as other groups and individuals. Mr. & Mrs. Murray Vaughan generously turned over the building site for a nominal sum.

The first Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors and Members was held in the Council Chamber of St. Andrews Town Hall on January 18, 1973. The Corner Stone for Passamaquoddy Lodge was laid by Captain Ranby Wren on July 27, 1973 and the first Resident, Miss Georgie Carson, 102 years young, was admitted to the Lodge on December 3, 1973.

Today Passamaquoddy Lodge Inc. is a 60-bed licensed nursing home facility thanks to all the community support we have received!
