Minnow Shop - Star Lake, Wisconsin

Last crawled date: 1 year, 6 months ago

Imagine two sisters living for nearly 100 years in the same home, supporting themselves selling minnows & worms, and seeing their hometown, deep in the Northwoods, go from the boom of the lumber years-- to ghost town-- to remote, rustic fishing community. Edith and Hazel Fredrickson ran the minnow shack at water's edge, dispensing bait and candy and ice, renting boats and telling Star Lake stories season after season, decade after decade, until Edith died at age 95 and Hazel followed just this year, two days short of her 99th birthday. (2000). A foundation has been formed to preserve and restore the minnow shop. #bait #fishing #Minnow_shop #minnows #Star_Lake_Fredrickson_Sisters #Wisconsin #worms
