In the beggining, there was only a sheet of frozen water that formed a chilly expanse that became fondly known as Ice Island. One of the islands first inhabitants was a rare find for such a cool climate but this gruff old dwarf cared not for such frivolties as he began construction of his castle .

The History of this place is a tale that sounds a bit different everytime it is told by one of us or another. Suffice it to say, it has always been here to serve the people of Great Lakes with the finest services available. We hope while it is in our care, MOA can bring some life back to this Historic Monument you have come to know and love.
