Wandawega Blog Archive

The rich history of Camp Wandawega includes the “Vandavega” era, when it was owned by The Latvian Marian Fathers and served as a getaway for Latvian Catholic refugees who fled Latvia due to the tragedies of WWII. It was a place where they could gather around a bonfire and sing folk songs from their homeland. Pictured here is my grandma, my aunt Mary and my mom Anna, on a refugee ship that transported them from the camps in Germany to the warm embrace of America. #weareallrefugees #refugeeswelcome

Back in 1959 when our little Friendship “Canned Ham” travel trailer came off the assembly line in Friendship, WI, it’s biggest dream was to be a fishing shack – and so it is today. And probably the first of its family to ever be featured in Architectural Digest @ArchDigest This little inclusion reinforces our belief that we can all have our own version of a getaway, regardless of how much we are able to spend // Thanks, @cbobfoto for the shot!

FOUND. We just discovered this little gem hidden in some backwoods. Her roof is caving in, shingles barely there. Windows gone. Remains of the door hanging off it’s last hinge. We think that she was once a scout’s cabin transported here years ago to be used as shed. then abandoned for the next 9 decades. we are hoping to save her, (if they let us get to her before a bulldozer or mother nature does) // we have a soft spot for the ones that time forgot. // #FingersCrossed. #TinyHousesOfWandawega
