AQUILLA LODGE Powers Lake. The ONLY things standing are the block stands for the fences! Town of Randall Kenosha County WI

This was a popular resort in the 1920. I know the family who owned it. Grama would tell stories about Al Capone staying there

Record the stories. If you cant with her voice, write them down now from what you can remember... when you go, so too will they. The written words then, have a chance

I have a coin operated piano from the bar there. Would like to see interior photos if they exist.

Grew up in a house in the subdivision right behind here. My brothers and I would go and look in the windows of the abandoned building. It always amazed me that some rooms still had tables and chairs, dishes with bread on them. It's as if someone just walked away and left them. Lots of ghost stories told about this place. Lots of good times exploring.

Does anyone know the original owners of the Aquilla?
