This used to be my favorite place in Wisconsin. We took a big group up for this holiday weekend and…read moreit was a ghost town. Very few businesses open and the ones that were only catered to the Illinois crowd. It's sad to see a great Northern Wisconsin town that was made from hard working people and logging go to a totally liberal city. Go woke, go broke. Memorial weekend was always a huge tourist boom and income for areas like this and this year it was a complete ghost town. Another place I wouldn't waste my to to come back to. We should have stayed home where the holiday was celebrated. If you visit here you better have an Illinois license plate.

I am pleased to inform you that the Museum has expanded over the years and has changed for the…read morebetter. A historical home is set up with period furnishings. Also two additional exhibit halls are featured. I think the current set up will appeal to a broader range of people. Photographs are still featured but not as many as before. They now have period displays such as snowmobiling and fishing. The Summer hours are still Tuesday through Saturday 11 to 3PM. I think the hours posted on Yelp are wrong. A big sign is displayed in front of the Three Lakes Library during opening hours.

What an awesome little museum tucked behind the library. A great way to spend an afternoon when you…read moreare tired of the water. Every building offers amazing historical artifacts about early life in 3Lakes. I especially like the displays of the Northernaire and the resorts. Excellent selection of books related to the area are located in the new visitor's center, located in the back of the library. If you are visiting 3 Lakes or live there and want something new to do--visit the Three Lakes Museum. They also have a fun Wine & History event held on Labor Day weekend with wine provided by the Three Lakes Winery!

This historic and venerable building is noticeable from most of the town in the evening because of…read morethe beautiful lit glass dome. Neoclassical in design, it was finished in 1911 and has been in constant use since. Since it's a public building, admission is free. There are plaques all over explaining and describing, but note that on each of the three floors the columns change just the way you learned back in grade school, Dorian, Ionic, Corinthian. Maybe the most impressive of the many Hodags in town is in front. No spitting inside the building. http://www.courthouses.co/us-states/v-z/wisconsin/oneida-county/#:~:text=The%20first%20courthouse%20was%20designed,heating%20plumbing%2C%20lighting%20and%20furniture.

Good Wi-Fi, lots of work space, but yes, a little shortage of electrical outlets. Just charge your batteries before you come here to work. Maybe the best Hodag out in front because it's made of recycled material.

This library is nice, but unfortunately doesn't have much as far as computer space. A lot of people…read morethink that doesn't matter because it's a library but I often go to public libraries for work on the computers. There are 5 computers here, I believe, but only one spot for a laptop to stay plugged in. This is unfortunate for those who are like me who come to a library to do work on their computer. Otherwise the library setting is nice, it is quiet any time I've been here. The classes/children's area are held downstairs so the noise doesn't carry upstairs, at least that I've ever heard. I wish they took card for payments but unfortunately they don't. The library director should consider changing this if possible. It is inconvenient to have to go to an ATM and then split up dollar bills for change (for prints and such).

A couple of years ago this institution underwent an extensive renovation. At first I was a little…read moreupset that tax dollars were being expended to renovate something that was so nice and already served the community well. However, after seeing the final result, I'm SO glad they did it. What I like most is the covered porch area that extends over the front. I work "at home" on a computer for my job and during COVID this area served me well. Comfortable seating is available and outdoor plugs are available to plug in when needed. I was able to stay out here during moderate thunderstorms and be dry. Inside the History Center, Children's Library, and study rooms have been expanded and updated as well. I'm so thankful this beautiful space is available to me and look forward to using it for years to come.

I never knew what I had until it was gone…read more This might be the best small-town library in the Northwoods. First, some history: I was born and raised in Three Lakes-- and even went to child care (Story Hour, anyone?!) at this Library. One could say I'm a little biased-- but after a recent visit this summer, I was reminded what a great local resource it is. The Best: 1. Great free wi-fi for locals and visitors alike. They even moved the outside picnic table to the side of the library so that even when its closed, people can sit outside on their laptops and use the signal. 2. Computers for all! I love that you don't have to have a card here to utilize their services. A lot of locals still come to the library to use the computers here instead of taking on the burden of buying their own. 3. Great books! Yes, its a library-- but also a library that spans LOTS of different subjects-- the people running this library are great at getting material that covers controversial, conservative, liberal, political and different lifestyle subject matter. While some people think 'small town, small-town mentality' Three Lakes has always been a town that encourages free thought & speech-- and the library's catalog proves that. 4. The Semi-Annual Book Sale!! again, another opportunity that lets the Library shine! And seriously, THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN! Hardcover books for $1, paper backs for 25¢! So many books and audio books to pick from, there is no way you could walk in and not find something you love that you could just sit on the beach and enjoy. The Worst? I have nothing bad to say... this library is awesome!
