History of the Island's Newspaper. In the NewsWatch for fun photos of the Island’s Icelandic horses in the pages of the Washington Island Observer. This island was known as the largest Icelandic settlement in the U.S. The gentle Icelandic horses can be ridden on Island trails. Visit Fieldwood Farms and Stables to see and ride these fine animals. We also cover winter activities:Ice-fishing, the Women’s Club Winter Festival, and cross-country skiers among other items. One of the most interesting of these is the Scandinavian Festival. The Island, having been settled in great part by Norwegians, Danes, Swedes and so on, loves to “hawk” its ancestry in this fest.Contact us at info@island-observer.com. |
