    Hi Sally and Marty,
    Thanks for the memories. I graduated from White Lake Union Free High School in 1951.
    In regard to the last church building you looked at---it wasn't a school, it was the Presbyterian Church.
    Also, we had German POWs brought out to White Lake to work on Diercks potato farm. I remember
    picking potatoes with them as a young boy in WW II and talking to them about life in Germany.

    My last name is Brown, some of my kin are from White Lake and Antigo. Some of my kin are buried just down the road in a private cemetery near Elton Wi. I learned how to water ski at White lake. Cool.

    I saw two pictures of my Grandpa Arnold Buettner while you were looking around the museum. He's one of the little boys in the pic of the folks at Van Ostrand logging camp. Later in life he was the forest ranger in town. My mother and her siblings grew up in the ranger station, which is now a house on the lake. Thanks for the nice video of White Lake!

    I love this video I was raised in White Lake at the kid till we move back up north by Superior I have been back there in years and I will always wanted to go back thank you for the video it's a lot like it was when I was a kid in the 60s but back then were you by the school we used to have a red Owl store which the kids were able to walk to I remember a lot of the churches the streets in the peer my dad used to take me fishing in White Lake and we need to catch white bass we lived on a farm always want to go back again just to see White Lake but I can see that is completely monetized from what it was from back in the sixties you brought my mind to when I used to come out those very School doors that was a new school cuz they didn't have the new school when I was a kid a big white building what's the school thank you very much for the Memories

    You are correct that the gravel pathway is the old railroad. The Wisconsin & Northern, then Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault St. Marie, which became the Soo Line. The C&NW left first, the Soo, later. The depot was moved.

    I'm very glad that a lot of our towns in Wisconsin are being "overlooked" considering what has been happening elsewhere....you get my drift. White Lake is a pretty and quiet little town and it should stay that way. Thanks, Sally and Marty!

    • @SightseeingSally
      @SightseeingSally  4 месяца назад +3

      From talking to the people at the historical museum, I also got the impression that White Lake is a tight knit community with townsfolk who still enjoy getting together and participating in village events.
