A Little About Us
Built as a country club for well to do big city visitors from Chicago, The Sportsman Inn has been a draw for tourists and local folks as well since 1928. The Sportsman has housed many famous and infamous individuals including state politicians, athletes, business people and even gangsters such as Al Capone(known to frequent the area). As a family run business, the Sportsman gained a reputation for excellent service and fine food. In April of 2006 a new ownership group, dedicated to saving the “Historic Sportsman Inn”, purchased the property.
