| Baer School Baer School, like Hunter School, was probably built sometime after the Juve and Jackson Schools. All of them were grades 1-8, then they were transferred to the high school in Eagle River. Unfortunately, no one today has the slightest clue where Baer School was located. Top Bailey Memorial Tree  This tree was planted in front of the fire station by the fire department in memory of Chief Donald Bailey and the many positive accomplishments he made for our fire department and community. Top Baseler House  Neil Baseler purchased this house when he moved here in 1972. Krist Oil purchased it to make room for the Citgo Station it was going to build. Krist Oil then purchased am lot on Lindstrolm Lane, moved the house there, and sold it. Top Billy's Resort  Nothing is known about this resort other than it was one of the earliest resorts on Little St. Germain Lake. No one remembers anything about it or where it was located on the lake. Top Black Bear Lodge The Black Bear Lodge is a resort, restaurant, and bar which was previously Richards Resort. The lodge was then totally remodeled and is operated by Diane Misina. Top Bob Katz Information regarding this establishment can be found under the Waukegan Top The Boxer  Charlie Cley originally built and operated The Boxer in the 1930's. He eventually sold it to "Dutch" Grimm, who renamed it the Dutch Door. It is not known who owned it directly after "Dutch" passed away. Carl Yanke purchased it in the late 1960's and it may be that Carl purchased it directly after Grimm Passed away. He named it Carl's Dutch Door. Carl sold it to Carl Brent and the name remained the same. Brent was happy that he did not have to change the sign. Carl Brent eventually sold it to Earl Jacobson, who changed the name to Earl's Dutch Door. Earl was happy because he only had to touch up the "C" in "Carl's" on the sign. Earl ran it for about three years and sold it to Richard "Mort" Morten, who named it Mort's Dutch Door. Mort ran it for several years and sold it to Bradley Waldmann, who bought it in partnership with his brother-in-law, Bob Fender. It was renamed simply The Dutch Door. Bradley eventually bought out Fender and became sole owner. The tavern burned down and Bradley rebuilt it as it is today. The new building is similar to the original, but somewhat larger. The cause of the fire was determined to be an interior electrical outlet by the front door. Bradley eventually sold the tavern to Ace Roxbury, who kept the name the same and operated it for about seven years. In May of 2005, Ace sold the establishment to David (Last name unknown). He changed the name to Angry Dave's Bar and Grill. Top Bridge On "O" 
This old bridge (first photo) was a popular fishing spot on the Wisconsin River ever since it was built in the far past. It was located on Hwy O, not far from the Junction of Hwy 70 and County O. The road was straightened and a new bridge (second photo) was constructed near it to the right. The old bridge was left "as is" for people to fish off of it and a large number of people did. There is also a boat landing here. The old bridge was removed in 2006 and replaced with this snowmobile bridge (third photo). The design and construction of this bridge renders it pretty much useless for anything else - imagine that. How this engineering marvel was passed up when they chose the seven modern wonders of the world is beyond us. Top Buck Stops Here  This tavern and living quarters was originally built and operated as a beer bar by a person known as "Bo." His last name is unknown. The tavern was on the right and the living quarters were on the left. Bo worked as a lock engineer on the Panama Canal for many years until he retired and moved here. He eventually sold the bar and it continued operating for a few more years. The bar was finally closed and the entire building was converted into private living quarters. It has been sold as a home several times after that. Top |
