Algoma Pictures
Algoma, Wisconsin is located 30 miles
east of Green Bay, Wisconsin, nestled against the shore of Lake
Michigan. For years local fishermen would exit the Ahnapee
river and complete their daily commercial fishing on the lake.
Their catch would be brought back to the "fish shanties" where they
were cleaned, processed. Smoked fish such as the lake chubs
processed in these Algoma Shanties were considered to be the
absolute best around.
The surrounding countryside was
totally inhabited by dairy farmers who would produce milk for the
various Cheese producing plants. Algoma was the commercial
center for the 2,700 city dwellers as well as the hundreds of
farmers in the surrounding countryside. |

This beautiful aerial shot of Algoma was taken from the
cockpit of Rockie's aircraft, alias (Roland Krause).
Bullwinkle, alias Ron Heuer, was the photographer. Picture was
taken in late May of 2007. We had a very good landing too! |
