Description
The Wylie school building was moved in the 1920's by Willis Pennington from its original location in the village of Wylie to the Hotel Pennington property. Over the years it has since been moved several more times by the music camp (ICA). It is now very close to the original village again.
The Wylie Cooperage factory and the small company village of Wylie were both located on Duck Lake just north of the State Park. They made barrels, between 1897 and about 1914,of the hard woods remaining after the Pine forests were lumbered off . A spur of the M&NE brought logs to the factory and the knocked down staves, heads and hoops were shipped out on the railroad. Many barrels went to the Chicago meat packing plants.
