History from 1600-1879
History from 1600-1789 is a committee of the Manitowish Waters Historical Society chaired by Jim Bokern. Manitowish Waters and the surrounding area are uniquely documented by many historic journals and maps from the 19th century. The early construction of this page will focus on the migration of documents from the former Digital Time Traveler program to the new Manitowish Waters Historical Society site. A wealth of links to primary sources from the region will follow for analysis. Menu page for maps and journals
