The book was published 170 years ago and inside the cover is a pen-and-ink etching of a small, rustic cabin.The cabin depicted in this illustration is very small, very cozy and basic, with a small stone chimney and a wisp of smoke rising from the place, signaling that someone is home.We love the concept of cabins. It conjures up images of "Lincoln Logs" that kids used to build with, dating back to 1916. A cabin looks sturdy and protective, almost like a little fortress.

Madeline Island Ferry Line Adopts Policy Requiring Passenger Masks Yesterday the Madeline Island Ferry Line posted a policy requiring passengers using the on-board passenger cabins "to wear a mask covering the mouth and nose". The Ferry line meets the definition of a "common carrier" under Federal Maritime Law (see Federal Maritime Commission rules, 46 CFR, subsection 530.0). This rule which pertains to "a vessel operating on the high seas or the Great Lakes", gives the Ferry Line broad authority to make and enforce regulations on Lake Superior dealing with passenger safety and conduct while on board. This is a proactive step towards protecting passengers from the COVID-19 virus. It should provide an added level of confidence for those who use the Ferry Line for basic transportation bet... 04/14/2020

Seven Years of the Madeline Island Real Estate Market at a Glance About a dozen years ago, the Island Gazette newspaper offered a column entitled "What's it Worth?", written by a local real estate agent. The column was an effort to forecast the current and future market for homes in LaPointe, Wisconsin. At that time, most of our local agents were not using comprehensive SOLD data or detailed comparable sales statistics to construct a clear picture of our local real estate market.  Fast forward to 2020, and we're now able to view a quick, accurate picture of median home prices on Madeline Island over the past seven years:    Over the past seven years, our local market median home price appears to have returned to the mid-$200,000 range. The drop in median price may be attributed to multi... 04/13/2020

The Ashland Daily Press has reported that all municipal buildings in the Town of La Pointe, Wisconsin were officially closed yesterday until further notice, presumably because of concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.The closing will be in effect until further notice. Meetings in municipal buildings are canceled, except for those scheduled by appointment.Numerous similar closings are being reported along the south shore/Apostle Islands region, from Ashland and Odanah to Madeline Island, Washburn and Bayfield. The Red Cliff Tribe of Lake Superior Chippewa closed its "Legendary Waters" Casino today, following a similar move by the Bad River Tribe at their own casino. The casino closings are expected to continue for at least two to three weeks.  03/19/2020
