The community of Boulder Junction traces its roots back to 1903, whenrailroad tracks were laid through this beautiful corner of Wisconsin’sNorthwoods. Though the rail line was built for the shipment of white pine logs, it also became a pipeline for hunters and anglers who flocked to thisuntouched area. A number of resorts popped up to serve the growing numberof vacationers.
In the 1930s, a Chicago sportswriter who regularly vacationed in BoulderJunction coined the phrase, “Musky Capital of the World,” a label which stuck, due to the fact that more musky are caught from Boulder Junction arealakes than any other similarly sized area. The phrase was awarded a trademarkin 1971.
To learn more about Boulder Junction’s history visit the Boulder JunctionHistorical Museum located next to the community center. The museum is open Memorial Day to Labor Day, Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm.Admission is free.
