History

McAllister was a stop between Wagner and Packard on the Wisconsin & Michigan (W. & M.) Railway line from Bagley Junction to Iron Mountain.[4] The rail line through McAllister was discontinued in 1938, when the tracks were torn out and the rolling stock sold off.[4][5][6] A post office was established in McAllister in 1895 and operated until 1966.[7] Segal Haulotte (1871–1939) served as the first postmaster at McAllister; he held the position for 26 years and also operated a general store.[8] Mike Pissato operated a cheese factory in McAllister in the 1920s.[9] The cheese factory was purchased by Theodore Phillips in 1929.[10] In 1946, the Franciscan Friars of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Province in Pulaski purchased a riverside property in McAllister as a summer camp and retreat, dubbing it Villa Alvernia.[11]
