Schooner America Anchor, Two Rivers, WI
Two Rivers, WI (Manitowoc County)
The Two Rivers Fishing Village District lies along the east bank of the Mishicot (East Twin) River, starting near the point of merger with the Neshoto (West Twin) River and their entry into Lake Michigan. It is made up of riverfront docking and boat servicing areas, fishing sheds and warehouses, a few retail stores and homes closely related in a ten block space aligned between the river. East and Jackson Streets.
The older small gabled-roofed residences, sometimes cluttered yards, fishing related buildings, net drying reels, and fishing equipment lend an historic atmosphere to the community which is tempered only slightly by telephone poles and lines overhead, cables, hanging intersection street lights and TV antennas.
The dates of significance 1855 to 1920 are cited to encompass the era following the arrival of the majority of the French Canadian families in which they and the fishing industry played the greatest role in the development of the community. (1)
