A resort is hatched
At the beginning of August 1897, Judge Logan tackled the task of converting 400 acres of former forest into a resort community. It was decided to begin development of “Clear Creek” by concentrating on two tracts. Cottage lots would be laid out between the county highway and the river. The old skid roads leading to the railyard known as Reed’s or Bloom’s Switch would become streets. The first job was to clear away the underbrush that had occupied the landscape.
