Forest Lodge on Lake Namakagon was originally the Northern Wisconsin Lumber Company. In 1902 Crawford Livingston purchased 100 acres of the lakeshore property for hunting and vacation purposes. Crawford Livingston’s daughter Mary Livingston Griggs and granddaughter Mary Griggs Burke continued to maintain and expand the property until Mary Burke’s death in 2012 when all 872 acres of Forest Lodge were entirely gifted to the U.S. Forest Service. |
