ShookRemark: Burrows' Camp was situated in Porter County, directly north of Dunn's Bridge. It was here that Leonard Burrows and his wife, Mary, operated a pleasure resort consisting of a theatre, which was later converted into a dance hall, and a horse-drawn merry-go-round. Just north of Burrows' Camp was a saloon, while directly east of Burrows' Camp was a combination store and residence. The dance hall and store/residence were later destroyed by separate fires. Written on the front and reverse of this postcard is the following:"This is in front of the camp. We got here about 9 o'clock. Papa just got the boat out. This afternoon we are going out. Will be sure to send you a fish."------The following newspaper item concerning Burrow's Camp appears in the July 29, 1915, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:Citizens Complain of Burrow's Camp.Burrows’ camp, on the Kankakee, where Mr. Burrows hands out the refreshments from his saloon to many customers, is termed by some people of Jasper and Pulaski counties the black eye of this region. Many letters have been pouring into this county [Porter County] protesting against a saloon license, which may or may not be granted to Burrows at the next regular meeting of the county commissioners. The matter has been pending since two months ago. The commissioners have not indicated what will be done in regard to it.Pulaski county is dry. So is Jasper. Hundreds of men, thirsting for the forbidden beverages in their own counties, come to Burrows' camp, the remonstrators claim, and families are distressed, homes broken up, and accidents to the merrymakers occur on the joyrides. Burrows, in the face of the accusations, declares that he runs the business in compliance with the law.The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, Porter County, Indiana; July 29, 1915; Volume 32, Number 19, Page 8, Column 4.
