The Pioneer Cooperage Co. of Chicago designed this vacation cottage in 1926 build for William Donahey creator of “The Teanie Weinies”. The main barrel consisted of a living area on the first floor and bedroom on the second. The smaller barrel is the kitchen. Donahey spent 10 summers at the cottage with his wife Mary. The Pickle Barrel House is listed in the National Register of Historic places

Peg and Steve, I looked through your blog trying to find an email address for you but didn't see one so I hope you see my post.

Dan and I ARE Yoopers (we own a campground just north of Newberry) and our goal is to have a "retirement adventure" eventually. THAT is the reason I am trying to get in touch with you.

I don't want to put my email address in your blog, but I think once you read my post there will be a symbol that will take you to MY blog (called Yooper Yarns) and from there you can find my email address in my profile page.

Sounds like you are having a great time in our neck of the woods and the photos are wonderful!
