Loganville 1907
Inspired by the United States Bicentennial, 4-H’ers of Loganville, Wisconsin decided to turn back the calendar, to re-enact life as it used to be in their rural community. With the help of older residents, the 4-H boys and girls reconstructed events which took place when their great-grandparents were young; a typical day in the one-room school, a wedding, Decoration Day, a Mission Fest, harvest time and a trip to market. Filmed in 1975.

Baraboo 101 PART 3: From Railroad to Ringling
มุมมอง 7125 หลายเดือนก่อน
Please subscribe to our channel! After Baraboo was established, its growth was fostered by the abundant waterpower the river provided but it was also hampered by the lack of a railroad connection. The topography of the Baraboo bluffs coupled with the costs of building a railroad thwarted all attempts until 1871 when the Chicago & North Western Railroad built a line through the Baraboo River val...

มุมมอง 1.3K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Please consider subscribing to our channel. The City of Baraboo has its origins in the waterpower provided by the river as it drops over 40 feet on its journey through the community. Three dams were built to power sawmills, grist mills, and other industries starting in 1839. In 1847 after a county-wide referendum, the county seat was moved from Prairie du Sac to the Baraboo River Valley where a...

William S. McCready and the 11th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry
มุมมอง 636 หลายเดือนก่อน
Study of the Civil War evokes images of the clash of armies in major battles, such as Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg. Yet, much of a soldier's life happened between the fight with hours of drill, the building of fortifications, miles of marching, and days of simply waiting. This video shares the Civil War story of William S. McCready from the small community of Black Hawk, located in Sauk ...

Please subscribe to the SCHS TH-cam channel. They say real estate is about three things, “Location, location, location.” One could say that history is often the same. It certainly is the case with the City of Baraboo. Its history and existence are tied to its location. While a community called Baraboo has existed since 1847, the story of human habitation on this stretch of river by the same nam...

Very interesting video, I worked on the CNW RR during 70's-80's and stayed in Baraboo in a bunkcar next to the old Depot. It brought back, many good, and bad memorys! lol
That's really cool! Can you share more? Email me at executivedirector@saukcountyhistory.org Paul Wolter
Please edit and repost. At 23:55 the sound goes out and does not come back on
We are working on your request. We will repost the video as soon as it is has been updated. Thank you for your comment.
How super stylish and thin those people were. Puts us lot to shame!
That was just great!
Very cool to see this

Thank you for doing these videos
How can I get Kenzie's wife's book?
You can find it online at places like Amazon. Just search for the title "Waubun" You should also be able to borrow it through your local library. (they may have to request an inter-library loan)
Very neat history.. Thanks for sharing
I watched Baraboo 101 Part 1 again since I was not able to get Baraboo 101 Part 2 to play. Could you please send the link for Baraboo 101 Part 2 again, please?

Nice talk, I learned a lot!
Interesting video and information...
Great video guys - thank you for preserving and documenting our state’s history!
Thank you for watching and for your gracious comment.
HI! THERE IS A NEW LINK FOR TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION th-cam.com/video/FXB2sE5FmmQ/w-d-xo.html
These videos are wonderful! Keep them coming!
Wow, I hope you make more of these videos! So informative, and I love that you are preserving these old pastime family favorites from yesteryear. I particularly love that you show exactly where these attractions once stood. My family started taking us to the dells early/mid 80s, a time that seems to connect the old 50s/60s Dells tourist area to the beginning of the waterslide capital of the world era. I remember seeing the big billboards and pamphlets advertising these attractions that we never got to experience, however I do remember a couple trips to Fort Dells as a little one and several shows at Tommy Barlett
This is brilliant
Wonderful portrayal: always "felt" Mary Ann Todd; spent many hours in church rectory built on site of her birth house and my Dad's home was upthehill behind her girlhood home (Lexington,Ky).
What a wonderful and beautiful portrait of Mary Lincoln.
Thank you for this presentation. Fascinating history!
Glad you enjoyed it
That is awesome I enjoy historical stuff. Never would have thought this would be in our state, and oly 30 mins north of our home
Saving the engine without saving the building, shame. The owner probably did not care at all about history
Nice work
Did the entire HRT boiler get saved?
Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice work

Did you get the whistle and safety valve out of the rubble? Nice job on recording the recovery.
At 29:16 Just torn down, surprised me.
The lack of commentary makes this a very much poorer video :-( . I found the music intrusive.
Grist mill was the root of rural agrarian society...... feed stores grain mills livery coal mines canal systems early rail... All the power was steam..... You cant beat heat... Ask anyone at a foundry
A perfect president and first lady for their time and for this country. Great presentation.
Hate seeing so many old buildings destroyed any of these old buildings can be saved but today's thinking is lets just knock them down to make way for some new cheesey built toothpick building that will never last as long as these old ones and all that wasted brick that probably just got buried. The thinking of today's society is what's going to kill it and it was probably some democrat thinking that shut the mill down in the first place as with everything else they killed
REF
Interesting!
Badger History Group take note. This is how you spread the word.
I was the videographer and produced the video. To my knowledge, there were no movies of the mill in operation. I also, would have liked to have included any such footage in this video. Perhaps the Peper family might have something like that.
G'day Folks ,very interesting ,glad I found you! Keep up the Good Work my Friends,from Perth Western Australia!
Thanks and welcome
A wonderfully produced tribute to those from our state who offered up their bodies and their futures that "a more perfect Union" might be realized. As we once again face an enraged minority seeking to deconstruct that Union, these voices from the past should serve to admonish each of us to reevaluate who we are and where we stand.
Thank you very much. It was quite humbling to produce this video.
I knew there had been a Grand Review in Washington, but I had not considered the time and the ordeals to get the men there, nor how they had gotten home. To run out of discharge papers and to have rumors circulating that they were going to be retained in the army must have been absolutely depressing! What a great story to share, especially in the words of the men who were there!
Thank you.
Thank you. We are honored to share it.
Impressive the resolve of these men.
❤ History is Amazing
great stuff here guys. Been reading up a lot on Canfield and am loving his documentations of Otter Creek and Baxter Hollow.
Very interesting!
The definition of deconstruction usually means the systematic disassembly of something with the intent of preserving the salvage materials. This building example is more demolition than anything else, granted the building looked quite fragile.
Fully agree! There was probably still some good salvagable timbers in that building.
My mom was born on this day in Sauk City. I don’t recall her ever discussing this oddly enough!
Fantastic TH-cam video. i have a question, are there any pictures or movies from the time that sawmill was in operation.
what car alarm? Jessica doesn't miss a beat! ⭐🤩👏
bravo! Jessica is amazing
