President Dwight Eisenhower visited the Minocqua region often, as did other presidents and vice-presidents. As I read literature about the area, I will note, in chronilogical order all of the presidential and vice-presidental visits I come across. The lists is, therefore, not exhaustive. Readers who know of other visits (and have some kind of documented reference) are invited to email the Webmaster at webmaster@starlake.org.
