The Historic Island Dairy is owned by Scott Sonoc and Marsha Williams who have been seasonal Washington Island residents for 18 years. They fell in love with the island the moment they drove off the ferry on their first visit on Memorial Day 1996. Before they left the island that weekend, they had a contract to buy their first home there!
