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. |

Jackson School
Jackson School was a one-room
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.
The site of the
Jackson school is difficult to find. It is about a
100 yards in the woods off Shields Road, but there is
nothing left of it, except a depression in the ground.

Juve School Site
This is the site of the one-room,
first-thru-eighth 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.
John Vandervort
taught in this school and
Oscar Eliason
was a student here, as were the Juve boys. There
is no trace of the school left.

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
people who apparently can not drive on anything less
than an interstate. The road was named after the Juve
family, among our earliest residents. |
