Hanson 1858-1951 moved to Minocqua WI in 1893 where he drove a livery team and by 1912 had established his resort on 37 acres on the shores of Squirrel Lake featuring a main lodge and adding cabins and other buildings from time to time set amidst a rustic setting of Pine Hemlock and Birch Trees on the East Shore of the Lake able to house up to 35 guests. His cabins were lighted by electricity supplied with running water shower baths and the excellent cuisine was furnished by the onsite orchards gardens and Jersey dairy cattle with large poultry supply as well. Initially named â€œForest Homeâ€ by 1912 it had become Squirrel Lake Resort and he would continue operating it until 1936 when he sold the resort to Ed Perreault. Although we were unable to find a reference to the photographer D.E. Kennedy in local Minocqua WI directories or Wisconsin & Illinois photography references a few of the photos in this album are similar to a couple of the contemporary unsigned real photo postcard images in institutional and private holdings.
