Library archival corner New “old” photo of Maple Lake Village surfaces
On Thursday April 4th, I found a photo waiting for me at the library. It was brought in by Kobe Mendelson. I was just blessed with the scrapbook by James J. Jude photos of Maple Lake in 1946. This photo I believe is the oldest photo taken of Maple lake Village. I started on my journey of researching Maple Lake history in 1989.

On the photo was written the date 1900 and that the photo was possibly taken by Frederick Adickes from Franklin Township.
