Naniboujou Lodge





If I hadn't accidentally found this place while I was exploring our route with Google Earth and Panoramio prior to the trip, we would have just driven right on by.  As it was, we not only got a chance to check out a fantastic piece of idiosyncratic architecture and history, but got a great lunch, too!

The idea was an exclusive boy's club in the 1920s, attracting the likes of Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth.  The Great Depression got in the way of the grander schemes, but it persisted and has now been fixed up very nicely.
