Historic Highway Leads Travelers To COMMUNITY Famous Ontonagon Trail built by act of congress during Lincoln’s administration restored as main entrance to summer home project of Racine Journal-News Realizing the historic interest connected with the old Ontonagon Trail — a military road built during Lincoln’s administration as a means of access to Lake Superior through the wilderness of Wisconsin — the Journal-News has caused that portion of the old trail which passes through Racine Community Beach on Lac Vieux Desert to be completely restored and it now forms the main entrance to this newspaper's great summer home project. Lots fronting on Ontonagon Trail not only enjoy all the privileges of the entire project in cluding the lake shore community park on Lac Vieux Desert, but are within walking distance of several other smaller lakes and magnificent trout streams. These lots are beautifully wooded and are ideal for a summer home site of great historic interest, within a few minutes’ walk of all the lakes and streams which one could possibly desire for fishing or bathing. Lots fronting on the famous Ontonagon Trail and only five minutes walk from lake ---still as low as--- Racine people who have visited Racine Com munity Beach on Lac Vieux Desert are unani mous in their approval of the plan whereby all the lake frontage is embraced in a com munity park. They realize that a five or six minute walk from their summer home or camp site has no objectionable features whatever and that this place gives each individual far greater lake privileges than would the owner ship of a lake frontage lot. Lots now selling on Ontonagon Trail are not only within a few minutes’ walk of Lac Vieux Desert, but only a short distance from other lakes and streams. Here on the ancient highway where ox teams and dog trains have been replaced by the auto mobile, you can build your summer cabin on a wilderness site and within easy access of any form of summer recreation desired. “Own a Summer Home Site on the Ontonagon Trail” Racine Community Beach has been inspected by over 100 lot owners and every one has expressed surprise and complete satisfaction with this remarkable development ONLY 75 LOTS LEFT GET YOURS NOW PHONE JACKSON 600
