Uncovering Al Capone's presence in the Northwoods

Matt Weaver at WJFW Channel 12 helped Jim Bokern share an exciting new historic collection which locates AL Capone in our neck of the Northwoods. Copies and images of personal correspondence, maps, photos, memorabilia and even a Colt pistol are part of the collection. These documents are available to researchers at https://mwhistory.pastperfectonline.c.... Those wanting high resolution images without watermarks please contact our archives team at [email protected].

Importantly, the Capone collection held by the Manitowish Waters Historical Society was made possible by the generosity of local donors.
This amazing collection was donated by Mitch and Babe Hawkinson and Mike and Paula Scott on behalf of Dale and Joan Halliburton in loving memory of Bill and Lowrene Sell.
