A Tourist Carap Witk Real Skov^er Baths TOURISTS SAY IT IS THE BEST IN THE MIDDLE WEST
MARINETTE has a modern free auto tourist camp, a pic¬ ture of which may be seen on the cover page.
The camp was establish¬ ed jointly by Marinette city and the Marinette Chamber of Commerce. It is located only a few blocks from the heart of the city and is in a beau¬ tiful thirty acre grove of virgin white and Norway pine trees.
The camp has a 30 x 30 foot bungalow with six foot porches on the north and south sides. The bun¬ galow is connected up with the city sewer, and city water system and is equip¬ ped with lavatories, show¬ er baths, dressing rooms, drinking bubblers, fire¬ place, writing desk, maga¬ zines, daily papers, a large comfortable sitting room, etc. The grounds are well lighted and equipped with especially built brick

ovens for cooking pur¬ poses. Puel is supplied free. There are caretak¬ ers in charge from 7 A. M. to 11 P. M.
The camp is one of the prettiest and most com¬ pletely appointed in the middle west. It was open¬ ed for the season of 1922 and took care of thousands of tourists during that j^ear. Many tourists found it such a pleasant place that they remained from several days to several weeks, making side trips from Marinette north and south, on the shores of Green Bay and to the in¬ terior lakes and streams.
The Chamber of Com¬ merce maintains an infor¬ mation bureau at its down town office where visitors are always welcome and where they imay obtain information concerning trips in upper Wisconsin and Michigan or other dis¬ tricts.
INDIAN GARDENS
INDIAN gardens on the banks of Lake Nocque¬ bay, twenty miles west of Marinette, are one of the many Indian relics of tliis region which are well worth visiting. These gar¬ dens are accorded consid¬ erable space in Wiscon¬ sin's official history. They are found on the farm, or¬ chard and summer place owned by Theodore Wise on the south side of Lake Nocquebay. Rows where corn were planted can be discerned plainly, and also places where tepees were

A grove of white pines which sprung up when the In¬ dians left the grounds pre¬ served this Indian village site. Mr. Wise is glad to have tourists visit these Indian gardens, and free camping space is also available at this beautiful location on Lake Nocque¬ bay.

| Description | The Marinette Chamber of Commerce issued this folding brochure in the mid-1920s. It celebrates the historical and recreational attractions of northeastern Wisconsin, and encourages automobile tourists to stop for a few days or an entire summer on the west shore of Green Bay. It makes extensive use of the area's American Indian heritage in its appeal, notably the life of the metis (mixed-race) woman fur trader for whom the city and county are named. The original pages measure approximately 8x8.5 inches, and the brochure could be easily folded in half for insertion into a standard-sized envelope. Though undated, its text refers to the 1922 tourist season as having recently passed |
