Madeline Island Heritage Center: Angus Family/Cheese Shop

According to northwestwisconsin.com, this structure was originally a logger's shack but was later moved and used by the Angus family - a family with deep roots on the Island - as a "Cheese House."  It was later donated to the Madeline Island Historic Preservation Association and today displays Angus family memorabilia.

Madeline Island Heritage Center: First Protestant Parsonage

Next to the Lakeview School building is a structure that was built as the first Protestant parsonage on Madeline Island.  Dating from the early 20th century, this parsonage has been moved many times.  According to northwestwisconsin.com, it was used for storage until donated to the Madeline Island Historic Preservation Association.

Madeline Island Heritage Center: Lakeview School House

This authentic one-room school house is filled with authentic memorabilia. Colonel Woods Avenue at Island Lane was not the original location of the Lakeview School House.  It used to be on the northern part of the Island and was moved to its current spot more recently.  The structure dates to around 1904/1905 and is currently in beautiful condition (inside and out).  According to information I found online(northwestwisconsin.com), the school closed in 1938 and the building was used as a residence for many years.  It was gifted to the Madeline Island Historical Preservation Association in 1987 and has since been used as an interpretive site.

Madeline Island Heritage Center

During my many visits to the Island I've never stopped by this complex of old historic buildings.  Located at 273 Colonel Woods Avenue at Island Lane (just a ways up the street from the History Center) are three notable structures: the Lakeview School House, the First Protestant Parsonage, and the Angus Family/Cheese Shop.  Dale and I visited during my most recent trip.
