Jack Pine Lodge
This was the third resort built on Big St. Germain Lake. It was built and operated by Alexander McGregor, Sr. In time, management was turned over to Alexander McGregor, Jr. After many years, the resort was divided among Alexander, Jr.'s children. Exactly how the resort was divided is not known. Lionell and Jenny (daughter of Alexander, Jr.) Rux operated some cottages under the name of Rux's Cabins. Another part was eventually sold to David Haverkampf under the name "Sunrise Shores" and still goes by that name.

Jack's Sport and Marine
There were actually two with this name. The first was owned by Jack Mohn, who then sold it to Jack Koch and he kept the name the same. More information on this business can be found under Welch's Sport Shop

Jackson Lakeside Cottages
This resort on West Bay of Little St. Germain Lake was purchased in the 1920's by George H. Jackson. It became one of the better-known resorts in the St. Germain area. The resort is still operated by his grandsons, Thomas and Kenneth Jackson.

Jackson School
Jackson School was a one-room 1-8 grade school that operated at the same time as the Juve School. The Town of Farmington (which included Cloverland) was established in 1907 and was divided into two school districts. The Juve School served the northern district and the Jackson School served the southern district. It was located by the farm that George H. Jackson purchased in 1903 near Finley Lake and eventually built Red Oaks Resort.
The site of the Jackson School is difficult to find. It is about 100 yards in the woods off Shields Road, but there is nothing left of it but a depression in the ground.

Jeannies Weinies
This was a small camper trailer that was converted into a hot dog stand by Nancy Koch. She operated it in front of Jack's Sport Marine and sold it to Jeanne Ray. The actual name of the hot dog stand as run by Nancy Koch is unknown, but all the residents referred to it as "Hon's Buns" because Nancy tends to greet people with, "Hi, Hon!" When Jeannie Ray bought the hot dog stand, Thomas Rossi said, "If the it was called Hon's Buns, then it probably should be called Jeannies Weinies now." The name stuck. She operated the stand in what was an empty lot where the Subway now stands.

Jaeger's Liquor Store
This is located on Hwy 155 not far from the junction of Hwy 155 & Cty C. It was built and operated by Frank Jaeger as a liquor store in the late 1970's. There has been no other retail business here since he passed away in 1985.

Juve Road
Juve Road is one of a dwindling number of higher traffic canopied roads left around St. Germain. They are steadily being widened and straightened because of complaints from new people who are apparently incapable of driving on anything less than an Interstate. The road was named after the Juve family, among our earliest residents.

Juve School Site
This is the site of the one-room, 1-8 grade Juve School. This school served the northern school district of Farmington. When the White School (Content School) was built on the corner of Hwy 155 & 70 in 1923, the Juve School was used as the town hall. It was located on the corner of Juve and Moon Roads, but there is not trace left. John Vandervort taught in this school. Oscar Eliason was a student as were the Juve boys.
