    Tuesday, August 15, 2017 11:15 AM
    Northern Waters Museum held a double event last Thursday, hosted by Land O’ Lakes Historical Society. The historical society’s $2,000 scholarship award was given to Audrey Lindemann (left) by Barbara Nehring for her community work. Lindemann thanked the historical society and said she hopes to pursue a medical career. Don Williams also gave a presentation on his book, “Lumbering Towns on the Choate Branch of the Chicago-Northwestern Railroad 1887-1941,” about the railroad links that spread out among the sawmill towns in northern Wisconsin and upper Michigan. Williams’ talk brought in some comments from longtime Land O’ Lakes residents whose fathers and grandfathers were involved in the rail and lumber businesses. The book, although sold out, may go to a second printing. For more information, call Northern Waters Museum at (715) 547-6979. —Photo By Bob Hughes
