What started with 16 lakes and a dream is now down to four. This March and April, the Douglas County Historical Society and Carlson Dock & Barge have been bringing you Marsh Madness: The (Unofficial) Tournament of Lakes—and you’ve shown up in a big way.
Nearly 1,500 votes poured in during Week 2 alone, and the competition is only getting tighter. One match-up this week came down to just two votes. Your voice matters—so let’s keep it going!

TO VOTE, visit the DCHS and/or Carlson Dock & Barge Facebook pages and leave a comment with the name of your favorite lake. Voting closes at 10:00 P.M. CDT tomorrow, Tuesday (3/31)—don’t miss it!

Your gift not only helps us keep the lights on and the door open, but makes it possible for us to continue our mission of discovering, preserving, and disseminating the history of Douglas County and its people. Thank you for believing in and supporting local history.
