January 21, 1928: "Taking over a tract of 2,800 acres of land under authority of the state legislature, the American legion in Wisconsin is demonstrating its ability at practical conservation.
The last legislature granted use of the tract along Tomahawk Lake to the Legion on condition that it would be made a game preserve and maintained by the war veterans' organization.
With a conservation warden appointed for the Legion forest, fish and game preserve near here and a shipment of forest preserve signs to be erected, the tract is beginning to take on life--in addition to the wild life which the organization hopes to conserve there. It is going ahead with plans to erect an observation fire tower which will be ready by the time the dedication exercise will be held in June around Flag Day." (The Rhinelander Daily News)
