Description

Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin's renowned Northwoods and surrounded by the world's largest inland chain of lakes, Three Lakes has developed into a premier resort and vacation destination while maintaining its small-town character. The pristine woodland trails and picturesque lakeside views that residents and visitors of today are accustomed to were not always here. Three Lakes was founded as a supply station for the massive logging operations of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Much of the area was barren of standing timber by the end of the first decade of the 20th century. The community reinvented itself as an agricultural center and as a vacation destination that played host to such notable individuals as Amelia Earhart, Bob Hope, and Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower. The community has always shown pride in its schools, churches, and local organizations.

Author Biography:

The Three Lakes Historical Society was founded in 1981 as a part of the community's centennial celebration and has grown from the basement of the old Chicago & Northwestern Railroad depot to a facility that includes six buildings. Curator Alan Tulppo and assistant curator Kyle McMahon have been associated with the Three Lakes Historical Museum for five years. They both work in the local school system and are involved in promoting local and state history in their communities.
