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.

[@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)! 😀

[@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!!!! ☺️

[@gregobern6084]

Indian Walleye spearing festival and fish fry is a spring culinary cultural event out there in the northeast Wisconsin zone

[@ottohesslein3230]

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@tessm6440]

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

[@juliogonzales5441]

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

[@richardgibson1575]

Love sightseeing with you two

[@maryloumayer5296]

Loved watching this since I am an graduate of Bonduel High School.

[@kalicokathy1944]

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

[@stucook8622]

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

[@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🙂

[@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

[@stevemerrill7430]

"Sightseeing Sally" - Sounds like a good name for a song!

[@toyo1267]

Hi Guys : Lots of history in that small town, That antique mall is a real time capsule. ☺Good job and Thanks for sharing. Lynn & Steve

[@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!

[@ronsontag6841]

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

[@davidross5169]

Racine Wisconsin has lots of odd shaped buildings, round,houses,tryangel.A space ship looking church.lots of humungus houses,Cobble stone streets,with huge old houses,with carage house garages.

[@larrybest4878]

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

[@FixIt1975]

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

[@TraceyM.]

I go to Doc's Harley Davidson All the time!

[@deangray1823]

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

[@bextar6365]

We called them Shitvette !

[@bonniekaye]

Loved this! *Thank you for sharing!* 🙂👍

[@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 😉 🤠👍

[@hawaii50th]

You sure had me laughing with the "loose women" comment, and how you had a hard time letting that one go. You tow aren't weird, you're the perfect couple who fits together like a glove. As always, the tours are excellent.😅😆👍👍👍👍👍

[@nancylindsay4255]

The car at 10:17 . . . Nash Rambler? A Sightseeing Sally Sticker? Awesome!!!!!!

[@sherifowler6614]

Loved this video. Since we live in Pulaski, we frequent Bonduel all the time...Hungry Bear, Red Rooster, and Da Ess! FYI...we miss the fudge we used to get in Crivitz.

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

Interesting place. Good to see you hitting new places

[@pigoff123]

My shop/garage is not pepto pink but somebody painted it barney purple. One of these days we might paint it.

[@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!

[@richardbeee]

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

[@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

[@victoriamaaske7420]

Mayville also has a swimming place surrounded by sand.

[@johnhawks5035]

Thanks Sally. Good stuff.

[@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.

[@northernbackwoodsman263]

Really enjoy the local history of the places you go.

[@bextar6365]

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

[@michaelhager2846]

Thank you ❤😊

[@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

[@glennjudd2467]

Nice slide Sally ! Lot there to see ! That car ? Good question ? Been thinking ? Might be a Chevy ! Love Chevy ?

[@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.

[@philorlowski2681]

...so... what exactly did you buy at Lawrenz's Sausage Shop ?? It's a fun part that you skipped, thinking we wouldn't notice. Otherwise, as usual, your excursions are fun to watch (except when you don't show us what you bought at the sausage shop). 🙂 The car @ 10:13 A Chevette?

[@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.

[@Kimzworld1]

Up until a year maybe 2 or 3 West Bend wi had a swimming hole like that. They recently closed it.

[@rockmanrespect]

Antler's Supper Club has great food!

[@lars277]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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 🙄🙄

[@51Lorie]

Would love for you to head over to NW Wisconsin, the "Indianhead" part of the State. I have lived here all my life in a little town called Frederic. There are many small towns in this area that have interesting histories.

[@SightseeingSally]

Hopefully this summer I / we can get over that way.

[@51Lorie]

@@SightseeingSally That would be awesome if you could!

[@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. 🤤

[@griswald7156]

Martys car might be an Hillman Avenger…

[@garymackovic7019]

Is that car by the old plow truck a Ford Falcon?

[@jamesrockford6700]

What a fantastic video.... thanks for the shoutout on FaceBook too!!!!

[@deangerlach127]

Chevette, folks had one.

[@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.

[@leannesmith3660]

The car was a Chevette. Mine was a 4 door.

[@TomTobin67]

Hey Sally! Please do a video about a beautiful little town in Iowa called Anita. A whale of a town.

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

[@drewping2002]

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

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
