Product Description
This menu cover was created in 1880 by a well known
There were 69 hotels in La Crosse, Wisconsin, that offered lodging in the boom years of the 1870s and 80s and the finest, without doubt, was Cameron House. The building cost $69,000 to construct and was completed in 1879. The grand 24 roomed hotel played host to banquets for William "Buffalo Bill" Cody as well as President Grover Cleveland in 1888. A fire destroyed the hotel and adjoining railway depot in 1916.
The 13 course Thanksgiving dinner was probably presented as part of a package to hotel guests since there is no sign of a price on the menu.
