History

Two landmarks in town are Lamb's resort (previously Stickney's) and the Cross River Lumber Company. The lumber mill is now closed, It was owned and operated by Robert Silver for many years. Bob had a long history in Schroeder. He cruised timber for the Schroeder company as a younger man. You can read about it in the book "Cutting Across Time." At the mouth of the Cross River is the place where Frederic Baraga safely washed ashore on a boat during a storm in 1846. In thanks he left a cross, now replaced by a granite one.
