Forgotten History of a Town in Northeastern Wisconsin

[@1954shadow]

I had two, Chevettes.

[@JohnShinn1960]

Congrats! 👍

[@SightseeingSally]

@1954shadow - I believe looking through the comments here, you were the first to correctly identify Marty's car! Please email me at [e-mail] with an address to where I can send you a sticker and I'll get it mailed out to you this week.

The Mountain Bay State Trail goes right 'over' Boduel, but you have to back track on side streets from the trail to get into Bonduel. Some bike rider from Chicago asked me why there's no direct access from the trail to Bonduel. I said, "Because the nice people of Bonduel don't want people from Chicago bringing Chicago to Bonduel."

[@garymackovic7019]

I will be visiting Bonduel this summer, thanks to your video. Love them all and also love Wisconsin!

[@edvalentine5127]

Sally and Marty are great historians. Takes a lot of effort and time to do such great videos. And, to do such terrific commentating is a very difficult and very unique talent. Good work, Sally

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you!!!! ☺️

[@JSB1882]

I have family from Bonduel and Shawano -- thanks so much for covering these towns.

[@darrellashby3906]

Another excellent walk-through tour of a wonderful small town!👍 Thank you Sally & Marty. Very enjoyable (as always)! 😀

[@allisonclayton1007]

I grew up in Bonduel - my grandparents owned Wayne's Place when it was still known as 3rd Generation. It's nice to see your appreciation for our little town ❤

[@ronsontag6841]

Went through Bonduel often on the way up to Cecil for summer vacations in the 50's and 60's

[@kalicokathy1944]

I enjoy your videos being a history buff I like that you research the history of the places you visit

[@badgerpa9]

Marty's little car is a Vette a chevette. Nice story and town as always Hope you guys stay safe and well. Maybe it closed but there used to be a Supper club in Bonduel that was pretty good.

[@nancylindsay4255]

Antlers? I haven't been there, but I can say that Wisconsin supper clubs are treasures, to be enjoyed and supported whenever possible!

[@plunkett68]

I agree with you on the car. Must be one of the beginning models

[@juliogonzales5441]

Thanks Sally 😊 for taking us place we never been.......and......go Marty

[@richardgibson1575]

Love sightseeing with you two

[@kimmathis694]

Some years ago my sister lived east of c on highway 29 where there used to be a creamery on what was called Blake’s hill. I spent a lot of time there and this was so interesting. Thanks for sharing all your travels Sally🙂

[@FixIt1975]

The little car next to the old Ferd pickup is a Chevy Chevette. I had one in high school as well, an '81

[@sapphiresword139]

Beautiful Knobs - Loose Women and weirdos WoW!!! what a show. I have to find my way back to your country (state) someday The fishing was always the best and there are a ton of smiles, just like you guys have. We look forward to all of it.

[@nancylindsay4255]

Hurry on back!

[@deangray1823]

Looks like a chey chevette or we used to call them shoveits.

[@bextar6365]

We called them Shitvette !

[@michaelhager2846]

Thank you ❤😊

[@JohnShinn1960]

Another fine town to check out on Google Earth. Thanks for the fun tour Sally and Marty! PS, for even better results, sit on waxpaper! 18:39 😉 🤠👍

[@northernbackwoodsman263]

Really enjoy the local history of the places you go.

[@bextar6365]

Luv your videos.....Hope you can do Haugen ,WI some day ?

[@richardbeee]

Are you sure Marty watches Green Acres? He looks more like a Petticoat Junction guy. I mean...

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

Interesting place. Good to see you hitting new places

[@johnhawks5035]

Thanks Sally. Good stuff.

[@travelobs57]

Entertaining video. The local history aspect which is the mainstay of your videos makes this unique. It is a lot more work but makes your channel unique. Thanks.

[@rockmanrespect]

Antler's Supper Club has great food!

[@jimvanlieshout7657]

we lived in Bonduel 1983-84. I was working at a bank in Shawano while my wife was stuck in our duplex (newer, thank God) during a pretty rough winter. She would call me about 11 am complaining she had nothing to do; I suggested she bound up our daughter, put her on the sled and walk to downtown. My mistake as she had already done it-took about an hour tops and she was not a happy camper 🙄🙄

[@paulerickson1906]

Looks like a 1979 Chevette. I had one also. Actually really liked that car.

[@gregobern6084]

The best chevettes were at the drag strip with 4 foot tall engines and giant tires

[@lars277]

Have you ever been to the 'ye old oak bar' in Menominee, MI? It is either Marinette or Menomonee.

[@recalcitrantradical7312]

Those coming down to WI probably come to get warm. Those houses had nice front porches. Sit out there in the summer with a jug of beer, radio with the ball game on and chat with the passers by. Some even shared their beer, or so I hear.

[@MidwestMamasAdventures]

Don’t forget to see Two Rivers, Wi. I was traveling with my boyfriend at the time with water tower painters. It’s north of Manitowac. Lots of history in both of those towns. Manitowac has a submarine (museum) that you can go on.

[@SightseeingSally]

Don't you mean "Trivers" hahaha

[@deangerlach127]

Chevette, folks had one.

[@josephososkie3029]

There was a period when German craftsmen would join wood floors tightly and paint without smearing things. Amazing work. . In fact every immigrant group had some slightly different strong points and weak points. It would be nice if Marty expounded on that.

[@galvaautovued.i.8460]

I won't touch the "knobs" reference in your home😅 but I'd have liked a little perusal of the selection of the fine cuisine offered at Lawrenze's. 🤤

[@drewping2002]

it looks to be a Pontiac T1000, the Pontiac version of the Chevy Chevette

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

I believe that car is a Chevette

[@nicholasmaxim3079]

10:37 it's a 1953 Dodge Coronet 10:07 is a Chevrolet Chevette

[@mom23wASD]

Is the car @10:20 a Gremlin?

[@davezepnick1161]

That one car was a Chevy Chevette and I used to own one

We pass through Bonduel on the way up north to the parents. Very cute town.

[@edwardkodai1319]

Right down the road from Shawano where I live. I stop at Kwik Trip in Bonduel often

[@astrorad2000]

Thank you for a great video. My wife and I used to pass through Bonduel quite often one summer, years ago. We would sometimes stop and have a meal on our way back to Kenosha and one of the locals politely informed us that the town name was pronounced Bon Dool.

[@stucook8622]

Its a Chevy Chevette and thanks for another cool video 🐾 and the Caddy was a 59

[@charausten5242]

Every time someone guesses chevy chevette i see a "translate to English"notation. But when i tap on it, it shows the same thing. Hahaha 😮

[@SightseeingSally]

hahahaha I noticed the same thing

[@DaveMathison503]

Oh God never let Marty find out Hudson Wisconsin has a fairly good antique store, but Hudson was a lumber town, that also housed a railroad boxcar repair depot. But across the St Croix river is Stillwater, the Greatest antique mecca and Minnesota's oldest town/city. Including the prison (that's now a high end condo complex. Love your doing Americana midwest. 🤙🤙🤙🥰

[@nancylindsay4255]

The slammer in Stillwater is now a high end condo complex?! You're kidding me! Grew up in St. Paul; evidently have been away tooooo long!

Great tour of Bonduel. Making our list of places to visit this Summer, and Bonduel looks interesting enough to make the list.

[@craigreid7178]

Have you ever done Land o: Lakes, in Vilas County? My family used to vacation up on Big Portage Lake near there in the summers where my grandfather had built a number of cottages. Originally they were going to use the place as a summer camp for under privileged kids - they called it Camp Indian Dog but the buy who was supposed to secure the kids for them spent all their money and never came up with any kids. So they just used it for a vacation site for the family and rented some of the cabins out to friends during the summers and hunting season.

[@johnbarrett7498]

While by yourself, Sally, your videos are full of interesting history and fun; Marty adds a touch of fun in his interactions with you that are especially apparent to me in this video. I enjoyed it. Bonduel, Wisconsin.

[@TomTobin67]

Sight Seeing Sally and Hearty Marty. You should try some bison burgers. Great taste and healthier than beef. I'd like to see Sally's tattoos.

[@erickort1987]

hatfield is at northern wi,its a big happening lil town in the summertime,fishermen but when it comes to winter the town is a ghost town

Hard to find beef anything since over the years pork is suddenly good for you... Go try and find barbecue beef somewhere want be easy

[@justnerdystuff]

But was Waynes Place ever Waynes World? I guess it was for him (hee hee)🤓

No doubt Bonduel got dealt a blow when Wisconsin 29 was diverted to its bypass in the '00s.

Ya can’t help but feel for all the indigenous people that were moved out of their homeland because one group granted Their land to another group… Nobody likes to even acknowledge this … I still find it sad in so many ways. I would have loved to see the vast forests before they were cleared out

[@Materialworld4]

That gold Cadillac reminds me of when I saw a pristine black 1950s Cadillac Eldorado in the shoping center in Seal Beach, California in the early 1970s. That thing looked brand new, but then I still remember my neighbor Mr Nichols from when I was barely three years old in early 1957. Mr Nichols had a seriously oxidized dark blue 1938 Pontiac four door with the teardrop headlights. I can still see that car sitting in his driveway in Quito, Califronia like it was yesterday. Here in Phoenix there is amost nothing as old as that merchantile you featured today, anything from the early 1960s is a rarity around these parts. Hang in there Marty, hope your feeling better already. Sally and Marty take care, it was fun seeing something different than Phoenix, trust me.
