Camp Wandawega makes Details Mag “Travel Journal.”
This past summer the charming folks from TRNKNY paid us a visit on their epic cross-country journey documenting style. They spent a few days with us, wrote up a lovely little recap, and the story has found its way into DETAILS. (thanks, guys!) check out the full story here An excerpt from the story: “The camp’s storied history is not the most fascinating thing about the place. Avid thrifters with impeccable taste, the couple transformed this quiet retreat into a masterfully curated vintage wonderland. Using items left behind by previous owners, along with their own scavenged finds, Tereasa and David very artfully decorated…

The prostitutes of Hotel Wandawega, 1942
Until now, it’s been part myth, part legend, part folklore. We’ve been hearing the rumors for years, from nearly every local of a certain age. But now, we finally know it’s true. With the help of a wonderful volunteer from the Walworth County Genealogical Society, a wealth of newspaper articles dating back to the 20’s have been uncovered.
