In 1952, Argus leased 150 acres for a recreation area at Independence Lake on the outskirts of Ann Arbor. Undeveloped when first leased, employees pitched in to improve the property. Within a couple of years, the lake included bathing, boating, picnicking and camping facilities. Later, the lake and its improvements were acquired by Washtenaw County.
