Having an interest in History, I have searched far and wide for anything about "Big Star Lake", but was not able to come up with very much. So I started interviewing and chatting with some of the older residence of the area, and have heard many stories and learned a lot. Some of the stories may be true, or "hearsay", but many times the "hearsay" didn't just come about out of "thin air", there had to be some back ground for the stories. SO - for this reason I am starting this web site to include Reminiscences, stories, and old pictures (not just people or groups of family members) of Big Star Lake. I am using the 50 year mark as where ‘history should begin’, or there about. So if you can pass along any, and all OLD stories and happenings, or just what it was like when you were a kid, or what you remember your parents talking about. Email all to: webmaster@bigstarlakehistory.com. Many people have been
asking who is doing this web site, and suggesting that I should put my
name on the page. I have tried to avoid that because I did not
want this page to be 'about me', or 'my page'. It is about BIG
STAR LAKE, and it is
EVERYONES page - about the history of the lake
we all love.
