Junction House

On the road from Bullards Bar to Camptonville. It was also known as the Bogardus Rancho, which was named for E. Bogardus, the owner.

Erwin G. Gudde, 1975

"In 1850, a man named Bogardus settled between the Wisconsin House and Camptonville. He kept a store there, and after Camptonville was settled he converted it into a hotel and called it the Junction House. In 1851, Moses Eastman took the hotel. A large business was done until the road was changed to run a mile north, when it ceased to be a public house. After the road was moved back to its old route, business was revived, and the place was again kept as a hotel."
