The Main Entrance on Highway 51 in Manitowish Waters WI.
My wife and I went to Little Bohemia for lunch and a little sightseeing. We spent a great afternoon wandering the building and grounds. We were lucky to have the place pretty much to ourselves. We would like to thank Pam for being our waitress, bartender, tour guide and general all around host. Hint: Off season seems to be a great time to visit. Call ahead for their summer and winter schedule.
Front Entrance.
Look for this view in the movie Public Enemies staring Johnny Depp.

It's one of these windows on the upper floor that John Dillinger escaped from.

Aside from the fact that this is the bar that was in the movie this is a great bar and very typical of resorts built in this era (1929) in Northern Wisconsin.

This photo (view) is pretty close to the movie scene.
And no that is not Johnny and his girlfriend sitting at the bar.

It's good to see all the posts you are making now that you are retired. I always wondered what Little Bohemia looked like inside when we've driven past. Next time we'll have to stop,too!

Whitey, oh, Whitey, so you want to follow in Dillenger's shadow, eh? Explains a lot.
