Lester Public Library

Lester Public Library is a public library in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, United States. History The library is the result of a project begun in 1890, when members of the Two Rivers Branch of the Chautauqua Reading Circle met to consider the establishment of a public library and reading room. Leopold Mann donated $500 and the land for the building and Mrs. Mary Mann donated an additional $1,000 toward the building on the condition that the new library be named after her late husband, Joseph. On December 17, 1891 the Joseph Mann library opened to the public. The total cost of the library including building, heater, furniture and the initial book collection was $3,363.73. Lizzie H. Yahnke was the first librarian. In 1914, Two Rivers built its new Carnegie library, still called the Joseph Mann Library, but located across the street from the original library. Though extensively remodeled and expanded during the 1950s and 60s, community leaders soon recognized that a more modern and spacious facility would be needed.On May 15, 1995, James Lester, chairman of the Board and CEO of Eggers Industries of Two Rivers, and his wife Barbee offered the Two Rivers City Council $1 million toward the construction of a new library. The City Council readily accepted and on June 28, 1997 the Lester Public Library—named in honor of Jim's parents, George and Marcia Lester—opened for business. Lester Public Library sits on the shores of Lake Michigan in the city of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. It is the second largest library in Manitowoc County and is a member of the Manitowoc Calumet Library System. Total service population is 15,686; the library circulated 225,622 items to 151,503 visitors in 2009.

Library Park (Kenosha, Wisconsin)

Library Park, formerly known as The Commons, City Park, and Central Park, is a park in Kenosha, Wisconsin designed by Ossian Cole Simonds. It features a library and war memorial designed by Daniel Burnham and a sculpture by Charles Henry Niehaus. Description When the town of Southport (the original name of Kenosha) was platted on October 30, 1838, a "Public Common" was reserved at Town Line Road and Kenosha Road. The land was donated by early settlers George Kimball and Charles Durkee, who wanted the old oaks to be preserved. By 1849, a Park Society was formed by local women to improve the park; their main contribution was the addition of a lagoon. Following the Civil War, the park fell into disuse and the grounds were used as an in-town pasture. The city filled in the lagoon in 1884 after locals complained about frogs and mosquitoes. However, later in the year, a group formed to restore the park. In 1895, they built a bandstand at the northeast corner of the property. The park then became a popular shortcut to town and once again it became a popular public space as Central Park. Later that year, flower beds were planted and benches were installed. Ball playing and bicycling were prohibited. A committee formed in 1895 to investigate the possibility of constructing a public library. A small library opened in a room above a hardware store, but the collection quickly outgrew the small locale. In 1898, Zalmon G. Simmons donated funds for a new library in the center of Central Park. When the Gilbert M. Simmons Memorial Library was completed, the park became known as Library Park. Simmons also offered to provide the funding for a war memorial to honor those from Kenosha who fought in the Civil War. Both of these structures were designed by Daniel Burnham and were dedicated on May 30, 1900. Although Burnham provided a list of suggestions for the landscape, Simmons instead hired Ossian Cole Simonds to re-plan the park. Simonds reinforced the naturalistic and informal style of the park. Businessman Orla Calkins donated a statue of a seated Abraham Lincoln, carved by Charles Henry Niehaus, in 1909. Originally just east of the Soldiers' Monument, it was moved to the northeastern corner of the park a few years later. The library was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1974. On November 29, 1988, the park, Lincoln statue, and war memorial were listed as contributing properties to the Library Park Historic District. The park was individually listed as a site on the register on June 22, 2000. References

Lincoln–Tallman House

The Lincoln–Tallman House is a historic Italianate-style house in Janesville, Wisconsin. Built and constructed in 1857 by the Tallman family, the house once hosted overnight guest Abraham Lincoln before he became U.S. president. History William Tallman was a lawyer working in the East when he bought 4,476 acres (1,811 ha) of land in Wisconsin Territory in the late 1840s. He was also an abolitionist who had lectured against slavery out east and whose house in Rome, New York had been a station on the Underground Railroad. Tallman moved his family to Janesville to keep a closer watch on his holdings. Local builder George Barnes began constructing the home in 1855 on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) bluff overlooking the Rock River on what was then the north edge of Janesville. It was designed in the Italianate style. High-quality materials included Cream City brick, cast iron on the windows and black walnut doors with hand-carved panels. It contained many modern conveniences of the time, such as central heating, gas piping installed for lights, running water, walk-in closets with built-in storage drawers and an indoor privy. The original cost was $33,000. Additional work finished in 1870 brought the total to $42,000. The 60 feet (18 m) house has six floors and 20 rooms. Tallman continued to advocate the abolition of slavery after moving to Janesville. He may have established this house as a station on the Underground Railroad, but it's unclear if any escaped slaves ever passed through it. The Tallman family resided in the house from 1857 to 1915. They donated the house to the city in 1950 on the condition that it be operated as a public museum. Lincoln visited Janesville October 1–3, 1859, a year before he was elected president. He had come to Rock County from Milwaukee, where he had spoken at the Wisconsin State Fair. William Tallman drove to Beloit to convince Lincoln to visit Janesville and stay at the Tallman house for the evening after a speech in Beloit. Lincoln then gave a speech in Janesville on Saturday, October 1, 1859. He left his boots outside his room at William Tallman's house at night, as was the custom, and didn't find them there in the morning. Because he was embarrassed to leave his room in stocking feet, he missed his train, so Tallman invited him to attend services at First Congregational Church with the family. Lincoln then stayed overnight and caught a train to Chicago on Monday, October 3, 1859. Lincoln's stay at the Tallman house is the only recorded time he stayed in a Wisconsin home. The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1970. It received a Preservation Award from the Victorian Society in America in 1995. It is now owned by the city of Janesville. Operated by the Rock County Historical Society as a museum, it depicts upper class life in the latter half of the 19th century. More than 75% of its furnishings are original to the home. References External links Official website
Linden Methodist Church

The Linden Methodist Church is a historic church building at the corner of Main and Church Streets in Linden, Wisconsin. Linden's Methodist congregation formed in 1834, only a few years after Linden was established as a mining community. It built a wooden church in 1836 and replaced it with a rock building in 1840, but by 1851 it had outgrown its second building as well. The 1851 church building is a limestone structure measuring 40 by 50 feet (12 by 15 m); like most contemporary churches in the area, the limestone was quarried locally by Cornish American masons. The church includes an arched entrance and stained glass windows on each side. The congregation placed a Victorian-style steeple atop the church in 1877-78. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1978. References

Lisbon, Waukesha County, Wisconsin

Lisbon is a village in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 10,477 at the 2020 census. The unincorporated communities of Colgate and Lake Five are located partially in the village. History The first settler in what became the town of Lisbon was Thomas S. Redford, who claimed 160 acres in the area in 1836. The town of Lisbon was created by the legislature of the Wisconsin Territory in 1838, ten years before Wisconsin achieved statehood. The boundaries originally included what are now Pewaukee, Brookfield, and Menomonee Falls before those three were also granted town status in 1839. The town government of Lisbon first met on April 15, 1842, in the future Lisbon Plank Schoolhouse. The village of Sussex was founded in the middle of the town in 1924, and over time annexed pieces of the town of Lisbon. The town's economy relied on farms and stone quarries for much of its history. Lannon stone, a glacial dolomitic limestone, continues to be mined in the town along with gravel deposits. Lisbon sought incorporation in 2011 and 2020 before the state approved the town's efforts to proceed with a referendum, which was held in January 2023. Residents approved incorporation as a village, which was certified by the state in February 2023.

Little Amerricka

Little Amerricka is an amusement park located in Marshall, Wisconsin, United States. It features numerous attractions, notably including a 16 in (406 mm) gauge 1/3 size rail road called the Whiskey River Railway with over 3 miles (4.8 km), in addition to 24 rides and an 18-hole miniature golf course. History The concept for the park started in 1987 as a minimum-gauge railway that owner Lee Merrick constructed as a hobby. Guests often visited to ride it to his Christmas tree farm. It proved popular enough for him to purchase the land the park currently stands on and build a concession stand. He was already beginning to collect and refurbish vintage children's rides and was beginning to plan expanding to a park around 1989 when he met his business partner Darrell Klompmaker. They opened in 1991 with mini golf, the railway, bumper cars, a Ferris wheel, a Tilt-a-Whirl, and a fire truck ride. In 1993, they added the Little Dipper, Mad Mouse, and Toboggan, and became the only park in Wisconsin to have a permanent roller coaster at the time. In 2003, they purchased a wooden roller coaster, The Meteor. They had to replace about 75% of the wood, but it became the first wooden coaster that was moved to a new park more than one time. Lee Merrick passed in 2011.

Louis Smith Tainter House

The Louis Smith Tainter House is a historic building in Menomonie, Wisconsin, United States. The building was built in 1889 by architect Harvey Ellis; it was funded by Andrew Tainter, a partner in Knapp, Stout & Co., as a home and wedding gift for his son Louis Smith Tainter. The building was built out of locally quarried sandstone in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Paul Wilson, the son of lumberman William Wilson, owned the house after Tainter; in 1940, Dunn County repossessed the property for back taxes. The Stout Institute bought the property from the county and converted it to a women's dormitory named Eichelberger Hall for the University of Wisconsin–Stout in 1945. The house was later converted to offices for the university and now houses the Stout University Foundation and the Stout Alumni Association. On July 18, 1974, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places. References External links Property record at the Wisconsin Historical Society
