Blog 7: A Sunrise and Catching Lake Trout

One of the most important parts of Fishtown’s history and present are fish and fishing. In a previous blog, I dive into this history after working for a day at Carlson’s Fishery here in Fishtown.

I’ve long been curious as to what may be out there. Are there still buildings out on the island? Does anyone live out […]

Blog post 2: The Heart of Fishtown—Fish

Within one week of starting my internship at Fishtown Preservation Society, I realized what story I wanted to tell throughout this blog. With an ever-changing planet there is a growing concern about what will happen to historic sites in the future, and how to go about preserving these sites. I hope to explore what Fishtown’s […]
