From Pie Stand to Icon : The 100-Year History of The Cherry Hut

In 1922, Dorothy Kraker set up a simple white roadside stand on Crystal Lake and began selling farm-sized pies made with tart cherries picked from the family orchard. A century later, The Cherry Hut has become a nationally acclaimed full-service restaurant, famous for its cherry pies, jams, ice cream, homemade sandwiches, and much more.



This 100th anniversary book includes historic photos, quirky stories, and a by-decade timeline of how The Cherry Hut evolved over ten decades. It also includes an accounting of everyone-owners and employees alike-who invested their talent and energy into making The Cherry Hut such a sweet success.
