50 and Fabulous!

TOURISM LANDMARK & 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS
As we celebrate businesses that have stood the test of time, we now turn to an organization that has done more than serve customers, it has created experiences, traditions, and memories for generations.

Let’s set sail for a true White County favorite as we celebrate a one-of-a-kind icon that has been bringing fun, music, and unforgettable moments to Lake Freeman for 50 incredible years.

The Madam Carroll has been a beloved fixture on Lake Freeman for five decades, serving as both a treasured landmark and a gathering place for the community. Now under the ownership of Chris Peters and Chris Lehe, this iconic vessel continues to carry on its rich tradition while creating new memories for generations to come. As a well-loved destination and dedicated supporter of local events and initiatives, its legacy is a true reflection of the spirit, energy, and charm of White County.
