Admit it, there are worse places to play miniature golf than here. This photo, probably taken sometime in the late 1920s or early ‘30s, shows people playing “putt-putt” golf at the ill-fated Mount Baker Lodge with Mount Shuksan in the background. The lodge, which opened in July 1927 and resembled the famous Paradise Inn on Mount Rainier, had a short existence. It was destroyed by a fire in August 1931. The miniature golf course where the lodge stood no longer exists. But you can locate the photo in the State Library Photograph Collection, 1851-1990 in the State Digital Archives.
