it was located. |

The
Boxer
Charlie Cley
originally built and operated The Boxer in the 1930's.
He eventually sold it to
"Dutch" Grimm,
who renamed it the Dutch Door. It is not known who
owned it directly after "Dutch" passed away.
Carl Yanke
purchased it in the late 1960's
and it may be that Carl purchased it directly from
Grimm. He named it Carl's Dutch Door. Carl sold it to
Carl Brent
and the name remained the same. Brent was happy that he
did not have to change the sign. Carl Brent eventually
sold it to Earl
Jacobson,
who changed the name to Earl's Dutch Door. Earl was
happy because he only had to touch up the "C" in
"Carl's" on the sign. Earl ran it for about three years
and sold it to
Richard "Mort" Morten,
who named it Mort's Dutch Door.
Mort ran it for several years and
sold it to Bradley Waldmann,
who bought it in partnership with his brother-in-law,
Bob Fender. It was renamed it simply The Dutch
Door. Bradley eventually bought out Fender and
became sole owner. The tavern burned down and Bradley
rebuilt it as it is today. The new building is
somewhat larger than the original. The cause of
the fire was determined to be an interior electrical
outlet by the front door. Bradley eventually sold
the tavern to Ace Roxbury, who kept the name the same
and operated it for about seven years. In May of
2005, Ace sold the establishment to David (Last name
unknown). He changed the name to Angry Dave's Bar
and Grill.

Bridge on "O"
This bridge was a popular fishing
spot on the Wisconsin River since it was built in the
far past. It is located on Hwy O, not far from the
Junction of Hwy 70 and County O. The road was
straightened and a new bridge was constructed near it to
the right. This old bridge was left "as is" for people
to fish off of it. There is also a boat landing here.
The old bridge was removed in 2006 and replaced with a
snowmobile bridge. The design and construction of
the new bridge renders it useless for much else -
imagine that. |

Buck Stops
Here
This tavern and living quarters was originally built and
operated as a beer bar by a person known as "Bo." His
last name is unknown. He worked as a lock engineer on
the Panama Canal until he retired and moved here. He
eventually sold the bar and it continued operating for a
few more years. The bar was finally closed and
the entire building was converted into private living
quarters. It was later sold (person unknown). |
