Gangster Joe Saltis with Fish |
This historic resort was designed and built
in the 1920's as a retreat for gangster Joe Saltis,
(pictured right), a Joliet saloon keeper and bootlegger, referred to as "Polack Joe."
Saltis spent an estimated $100,000 into building this rustic two-story cedar
log lodge, cabins and nine-hole golf course.
In 1930 "Polack Joe" retired to this retreat on the Barker Lake
shoreline and the colorful stories about him and his guests still circulate
around the Winter, Wisconsin area.
