Carole Shelby has written a history book called “Memories of Lake Tippecanoe”. Shelby grew up at the North Shore Hotel building and is a lake resident. The author has brought the history of Tippecanoe Lake to life, scouring museums and libraries and interviewing the people who remember the early days of the lake’s development. The comprehensive, 276-page volume is packed with local names and landmarks, and chronicles more than 500 photos.
“Interviews with the older people was the most interesting part of writing the book,” Shelby said of the five-year project.
