The 1911 publication of "Picturesque Walloon" page 12 describes"THE VILLAGE:
"A quiet little hamlet surrounding the G.R. & I. station and steamboat landing, consists of three stores, a bowling alley, bath house, boat livery, boat factory, four hotels, tow churches and post office. A beautiful spring of pure, cold water, one hundred feet about the village, has recently been tapped and piped to the business portion.
We do not boast of electric cars, paved streets and patrol wagons; we have nature's highways and byways leading through the quiet woods, or by the lake --- a perfect body of water on which public or private boats may be run whither they will. No dust, no smoke, no noise --- just nature's paradise."
