Ed O’Brien as Sven Mellin

During the first 3 decades of the 1900s, the Fox Lake community featured many locations for family getaways from Chicago’s hot summers. In 1902, Sven Mellin opened a resort in the Fox Lake and Pistakee Lake region. The Bald Knob Resort offered a unique combination of “Good Food, Good Beer, Good Friends, and Good Times”. Learn what it was like to spend a weekend at the Bald Knob Resort during the 1920s with returning guest speaker Ed O’Brien. Free and open to the public.
