GLCC Lone Tree Drive

Lone Tree Drive / Lawson Drive

In 1912, the “Big Road” to Green Lake was begun. This roadbed ran from the old Kelm School to the Causeway bridge and on down to the Chicago & North Western Depot. It was built for the convenience of the Lawsons and as a favor to the area farmers. Upon its completion in 1914, Lawson deeded it to the State of Wisconsin and it would become State Highway 23 in later years.  The new macadam road was called “Lawson Drive”
When the property along the shore was sold for residential properties, this road was moved further north, and the original section along the lake was turned into a private drive.
