What if I told you the Great Lakes were once the most exclusive vacation destination in the entire world. Not the Mediterranean. Not the Caribbean. The Great Lakes. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, America's most powerful industrialists discovered these inland seas. Rockefellers. Carnegies. Ford. They didn't just visit. They claimed it. Massive steam-powered yachts stretched over 200 feet long. Private islands purchased for pennies on the dollar. Lavish resort hotels built right on the shoreline where ordinary people were not welcome. Lake Geneva in Wisconsin became known as the Newport of the West. Millionaires Row on Lake Erie
