It is no secret the Northwoods is rich in water resources. These programs and experiences will get you on (and sometimes in!) local lakes and rivers, educating you on their fascinating link to local history and lore, ecology and importance.

Description

Learn what John Dillinger and his gang were really like and the “behind the scenes” story of their weekend in Manitowish Waters as we travel by pontoon to historic Dillinger sites. We will also tour the grounds of the famous Little Bohemia Lodge, the property that was featured in the movie Public Enemies. The tour is led by Manitowish Waters Historical Society (MWHS) member, Kay Krans. Pontoon will be from 9:30 am - 12 pm. In the event that the morning has inclement weather, the pontoon will be held in the afternoon. Please note that this tour is offered at a reduced rate from our summer tours as this trip does not include lunch.

An email will be sent to registered participants with directions to the launch site and items to bring prior to the trip. Please note Little Bohemia is not open when the morning tour departs so there is no available restroom facility onsite. You may wish to consider stopping at a public facility on your way to the landing! Tuesday, September 10th - 9:30 am - 12:00 pm.

Registration is required by 9/9/24. $60/Non-Member and $50/Member (NLDC or MWHS). **YOU MAY REGISTER ONLINE OR CALL THE DISCOVERY CENTER TO REGISTER. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT LITTLE BOHEMIA TO REGISTER.
