Did you ever hear the real story of how the Sheep house got it's name? Well, the way I first heard it was like this. There was an outfit logging up there in the Nor' West country and an old ram, that's a male sheep, wandered into the camp yard one day. It must have got lost from a farm over on the Chaplin Island Road somewhere's. It could have walked for miles. I've heard of animals getting lost and wandering from Sillier all the way over to the Nor' West and out the Chaplin Island Road. Anyway, this sheep hung around the camp. It was probably too scared to bead back into the woods or maybe it was just lonesome and wanted to be around some people. After it hung around the camp for a few days some of the men built it a little house for shelter. It lived there with that logging crew all that winter. They sort of made a pet of it. Sheep!!!!! House!!!!! Get it? Now you know the real reason why that place is called Sheep house. Long before I ever heard of The Sheep house Falls I heard the story of that sheep and it's little house.
