What a lovely little local book shop nestled right in the tourist hustle and bustle of Bayfield…read more Stopped here on a couple of occasions on a recent trip. It's a small shop but it's brimming with books. On one visit, it was a bit crowded (I like to really linger over shelves of books and felt like it was a bit too busy for that). So I came back a second time when they were a bit less busy. I love when bookshops offer recommendations from their workers--the best! They have a shelf full of fun recommendations and I was able to pick up my next read there. A top notch experience at a top notch local bookseller. Get to it!

Pretty interesting, lots of history of Washburn. You wouldn't think that, but there is. This museum…read morepretty much covers the whole logging industry, and brownstone industry that used to be in Washburn, also, has a map of all the old railroad tracks..
