Lake Maxinkuckee Its Intrigue History & Genealogy Culver, Marshall, Indiana

Names of cottages Over the Years  



Some of these cottages are known as to location and some are not as yet; as found liks will be placed to the cottage page.

Hopefully all the identities and locations of the cottages will be known and can be placed in the list of cottages and owners also - some have already.

They are also listed here as well. These cottages are listed as being on the lake in the 1881 history and gleaned from other sources also

There are post cards and other things concerning the cottages as I fine tune the pages will add these items also to the pages within the site.

Oak Dell - E. W. Johnson owner in 1903 on Long Point
    IN THOSE DAYS OF OUR YOUTH With The Spectator 20 Yearn Ago!... “Ed Johnson has been compelled to change the name of the cottage at Lake Maxinkuckee from Terre Haute to Oak Dell. After a fire which destroyed his first summer home he changed the name to Terre Haute. But as strangers, attracted by the name on the front of the cottage, continued to call with requests for the beverage that has made this town famous, Mr. Johnson thought it was going beyond the limit. ‘They can’t tell me there is nothing in a name,’ he says. 'But it is strange that when any one gets away from Terre Haute and sees the name it can’t mean anything but that beer is for sale.’ Since Oak Dell has adorned the front of the Johnson cottage he has not been bothered by thirsty visitors.” - - Terre Haute Saturday Spectator, Saturday, August 08, 1925, Terre Haute, Indiana
