Description

“NEEBING” is the Ojibway Indian word for “MEETING PLACE”. “ROADHOUSE” is a good eating house or tavern on a “COUNTRY ROAD”. “The Neebing Tourist Hotel” was constructed in 1947 and for the first number of years, it was considered a goodly distance from the city. Over the years, it has been a welcome meeting place for rural folk and a pleasant escape for city folk. “The Neebing” was almost destroyed by fire in December 1982. The reconstruction was completed and the “Neebing Roaadhouse” was reopened on February 8th, 1984. The popularity of the “NEEBING” as a place of enjoyable dining necessitated an expansion in the fall of 1987. The design and atmosphere has been achieved from the friendship and inspiration of Bill Antonyshyn. To the man they called “Nish”, cedar, curves, stained glass, creativity, warmth and friendship were his calling card. This expansion is dedicated to his memory.
