Good afternoon everyone!

| The key donated by the 21 graduating senior of Arsenal Techincal High School in Indiana |
Today’s key comes to us all the way from Indianapolis,
Indiana. This key was brought to us in 1936 by the graduating senior class of
the same year at Arsenal Technical High School. These seniors passed this key
along to the Baldpate Inn because it was used in their own production of Seven Keys to Baldpate, which they put
on in their auditorium on November 22, 1935.
The novel that we’re named after and that the play is
modeled around was written in 1913, with the play being written soon after that.
Earl Derr Biggers actually came to stay with us here at the Baldpate and while
he was wondering about our lodge, he told the Mace family that it was exactly
how he imagined the lodge in his book! Thus we were given our wonderful name.
