Who were the two original postmasters "on the lake"?

What marina celebrates 40 years in business this year?

What was the original name of "The Wise Owl" cottage colony?

Thanks so much for your help. Jane

Are you trying to win a contest or something? Seems like an odd group of questions

Yes , it is a contest. I found out which Marina. It is Trexlers but I still need the other answers

Mail began to be carried on the Lake in the late 1800's, but the first official date was 1892 when Rural Free Delivery Route #7 was set up under contract to Dr. George Saltmarsh with the vessel Robert and Arthur the first mailboat.
