The View Point Inn is a fine dining restaurant and boutique hotel that is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original property was owned by Lorens Lund, a Danish immigrant who came to the U.S. in the 1870's. He and his wife Mari gave the name "Thor's Heights" to their 120 acres overlooking Crown Point. The land was later purchased by the Grace H. Palmer Corporation and the current structure was built for $47K. It was named the "Palmer House" and opened June 1925 for business. Bankruptcy was filed in 1927 and a chef from Portland bought the place with his wife. New owner, William Moessner renamed the property "The View Point Inn" and ran the Inn for more than 50 years, entertaining many famous Hollywood actors, Presidents and European royals. The Inn was successfully ran and operated until William's death in 1979. In 1982 the Inn was purchased by Doug and Karen Watson who were able to get the Inn on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The Inn's current owners are Geoff Thompson and Angeleo Simione. Recently Corbett High's Prom was held on the property.
