Oregon Water Tower and Pump House

The Oregon Water Tower and Pump House is a metal tower with a brick pump house built in 1899 in Oregon, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. History The water tower and pump house were built in 1899 after concerns were raised in Oregon about fire protection and water supply. In 1921, the wooden tank on the tower was replaced with a metal one. The water tower was drained and removed from service in 1981. The pump house and water tower were designated cultural landmarks by the village board after that. In 2007, both were listed on the state and national registers of historic places. The chairman of the Oregon Historic Preservation Commission, described the tower structure as iconic and representative of downtown Oregon and small-town America in general. The New York Times reported in 2009 that other small towns in the United States were also seeking to preserve ordinary, utilitarian structures, describing them as "the things that represent ordinary people and workers." Construction The water tower is a 100 feet (30 m) tall and has four steel trestle legs supporting an all steel water tank. It is described as a "classic tin man" style, which was once a common form of water tank design introduced in 1894. The pump house is a two-room, brick, utilitarian structure which once contained a water pump and gasoline engine that ran the pump. References

Oshkosh Correctional Institution

Oshkosh Correctional Institution (OSCI) is a prison of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States, north of the city center. It has an official capacity of 1494. History In 1977 the Wisconsin Legislature proposed the construction of a new 300 prisoner medium security prison on the property of the Winnebago Correctional Farm, a prison farm which was, at the time, north of Oshkosh. The terms were written within the "Flad Report" six-year master plan that the legislature issued, and they were defined under Wis. Stat. 301.16(lm). In the fall of 1984, construction of OSCI began. The prison opened in September 1986. The state decided to relocate Winnebago to Waupun and dismantle the existing Winnebago facility, so OSCI can be expanded. The City of Oshkosh annexed the territory held by OSCI. In 1996 the prison inmate population reached over 1,800.

Oshkosh Public Museum

Das Oshkosh Public Museum ist ein Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Vereinigte Staaten. Es befindet sich im Edgar and Mary Jewell Sawyer House im Algoma Boulevard Historic District. 1994 wurde es in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Geschichte Edgar Sawyer, ein Holz-Baron, ließ das Haus 1908 durch den Architekten William Waters an Stelle seines vorherigen Hauses errichten. Die Sawyers lebten nur etwa ein Jahr lang im neuen Haus, bis Mary dort an Herzversagen starb. Edgar hielt die Residenz noch 12 Jahre, lebte dort aber nicht mehr dauerhaft. Das Haus wurde 1922 der City of Oshkosh geschenkt und 1924 als Museum eröffnet. Viele Ausstellungsstücke wurden am 2. Juni 1994 durch ein Feuer im dritten Geschoss zerstört. Sehenswürdigkeiten Die Hauptattraktion des Museums ist eine Volkskunst-Uhr, die als Apostle’s Clock bekannt ist. Jede Stunde läuft eine Prozession von handgeschnitzten Apostel-Figuren ab, welche zu den Klängen einer Regina Music Box umlaufen und sich vor einer Figur von Jesus Christus verneigen. Der letzte der Apostel, Judas Iskariot, trägt einen Beutel und wendet sich regelmäßig von Jesus ab. Die Einrichtung des Gebäudes wurde von Tiffany Studios gestaltet. Es gibt mehrere Buntglasfenster und ein aufwändig dekoriertes Treppenhaus. Die einzelnen Räume zeigen Kunst und Artefakte von Oshkosh und der Region um Lake Winnebago. Ein Teil der Ausstellung dokumentiert auch die Ankunft von Immigranten aus Osteuropa in der Region. Eine Abteilung mit dem Titel „Memories & Dreams“ (Erinnerungen und Träume) befasst sich mit den 1830ern bis zu den 1920ern und zeigt eine Harley-Davidson von 1913. In dem Raum „Grandma’s Attic“ (Großmutters Dachboden) können Besucher mit historischen Gegenständen interagieren. Ein Modell zeigt die Stadt und ihre Lumber Yards (Holzlagerplätze) in den 1800er Jahren. Galerie Literatur Jeff Potts: Public museum rises from the ashes. Oshkosh Northwestern Mai 2005.

Oshkosh Public Museum

The Oshkosh Public Museum is museum located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States. It is housed in the Edgar and Mary Jewell Sawyer House, which is part of the Algoma Boulevard Historic District, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History Edgar Sawyer, a lumber baron, built the house in 1908. The current mansion is built on the site of the Sawyer's previous home. The original home was demolished in 1907 to make way for a more grand and modern mansion. The Sawyers only lived in the new house for about a year before Mary died of heart failure. Edgar kept the residence open for 12 years, but did not live there permanently. The house was donated to the City of Oshkosh in 1922, and opened as a museum in 1924. Many items on display were destroyed in a third floor fire on June 2, 1994. Attractions The museum's featured attraction is a folk art clock called the Apostle's Clock. At the top of each hour, music from a Regina music box starts a procession of hand carved Apostles figurines that circle and bow to a figurine of Jesus Christ. The final apostle, Judas Iscariot, is carrying a bag, and he turns away from Jesus. The interior of the building was designed by Tiffany Studios. There are several stained glass windows and an ornate carved staircase. Rooms display art and contain information and artifacts about Oshkosh and the Lake Winnebago region. The museum also documents the arrival of immigrants from Eastern Europe into the region. A section entitled "Memories & Dreams" describes the 1830s until 1920s and includes a 1913 Harley Davidson motorcycle. In a room called "Grandma's Attic" visitors can interact with historic items. A model shows the city and its lumber yards in the 1800s.

Paine Art Center and Gardens

The Paine Art Center and Gardens is a preserved historic estate with a mansion and gardens located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It includes public art galleries and botanic gardens on 3 acres (1.2 ha), and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History The Paine Mansion was built for lumber baron Nathan Paine and his wife, Jessie Kimberly Paine. In 1925, upon the recommendation of Mary K. Shirk (Jessie's sister), the Paines commissioned Bryant Fleming, an architect from Ithaca, New York to design the estate. From the beginning, the Paines wanted to design an estate that would showcase exceptional architecture, furnishings, art and natural beauty, which would be open to the public for educational and cultural purposes. Construction of the Tudor Revival style mansion began in 1927 and the exterior was completed by 1930. By 1932, when the Great Depression hit and crippled the Paine Lumber Company, all remaining work on the house came to a halt. The Paines returned to the project in 1946 and established a non-profit organization to own and manage the estate for public benefit. Nathan Paine died in 1947 at the age of 77. Jessie oversaw the remaining work on the estate, and the property opened to the public in 1948. Until Jessie's death in 1973 at the age of 100, she served as the museum's president while residing in La Jolla, California. The Paines never lived in the mansion. Features The Paine estate features a historic house museum with art gallery, and is surrounded by extensive gardens. The house contains French Barbizon school and American paintings, sculptures, and decorative woodworkings, Persian rugs, tapestries, and English and American silver and china. The Paine Center hosts changing exhibitions and offers educational programs related to historic architecture, art, and to nature. The estate's landscape gardens have twenty 'outdoor rooms' and designed areas, in various historical—traditional and contemporary themes. They feature thousands of different plant species, serving as a botanical garden. The Paine Art Center and Gardens is located at 1410 Algoma Boulevard in Oshkosh. It is open Tuesday-Sunday throughout the year, and an admission fee is charged.

Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art

The Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art, also referred to as the Haggerty Museum of Art or The Haggerty, is an art museum located on the campus of Marquette University in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The museum opened on November 11, 1984, following a collaborative effort chaired by professor Curtis L. Carter. As of 2025, its collection comprises about 10,000 works, a selection of which is on view on two levels of exhibition spaces totaling 5,246 sq. ft. (487 m2). Construction was made possible by a donation from alumnus and co-founder of Texas Instruments, Inc. Patrick E. Haggerty (1914–1980) and his wife Beatrice (1913–2003), for whom the museum is named. The building was originally designed by San Antonio architect O'Neil Ford. After Ford's death, the project was taken over by Milwaukee architect David Kahler. American artist and social activist Keith Haring created a mural called Construction Fence, inspired by breakdancing, for the fence surrounding the building's construction site. The work was later relocated inside the galleries. Permanent collection The Haggerty’s permanent collection includes approximately 10,000 works of art, with strength in European paintings of the late Renaissance and early modern eras, 20th-century German art, modern and contemporary photographs, and fine art prints by post-war and contemporary artists. Most of these objects can be viewed through the museum's online collection search. Highlights include paintings by Pieter Claeissens, Charles-André van Loo, Gustave Caillebotte, Lovis Corinth, Diego Rivera, Salvador Dalí (The Madonna of Port Lligat), Jacob Lawrence, Jacques Villon, Andy Warhol; sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Louise Nevelson; and works on paper by Otto Dix, Weegee, Robert Rauschenberg, and Marc Chagall (a set of 105 colored etchings known as The Bible Series donated by Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty).

Pattison State Park

Pattison State Park is a state park in northwestern Douglas County, Wisconsin, United States. The 1,436-acre (581 ha) park is located on the Black River and contains both Big Manitou Falls, the highest waterfall in Wisconsin at 165 feet (50 m), and Little Manitou Falls, which is 30 feet (9.1 m). Pattison State Park was established in 1920. It is located 12 miles (19 km) south of downtown Superior. History Pattison State Park is named after Martin Pattison, an early lumberman and miner. In 1879, the company he was working with moved to Superior. After becoming wealthy in the iron mining business, he purchased an entire city block on the harbor, where he built the 42-room Martin Pattison House, which is now the Fairlawn Mansion and Museum. In 1917, there was a plan to build a "power dam" on the Black River. The dam would have destroyed what is known as the Big Manitou Falls. Pattison took the initiative to save the falls by secretly buying land, 660 acres (270 ha) in total from different landowners along the river. In 1918, he donated the land to the state which led to Wisconsin dedicating its sixth state park to Martin Pattison on January 20, 1920. Until 1935, Pattison State Park consisted of a small picnic area, some wooden overlooks, pit toilets, and a ranger cabin. On July 25, 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began renewing the park. The Corps quarried rock and chiseled it into blocks to create the park shelter building, nature center, bathhouse, and former office building. It also drained Interfalls Lake, rerouted the river channel, hauled sand from Lake Superior's shore to make the beach, installed sewer and water systems, removed old roadbeds, planted trees, and landscaped and built three miles of foot trails. Activities and amenities The park has a nature center and 300-foot (91 m) sand beach on Interfalls Lake. The park's 7 miles (11 km) of hiking trails include trails that are used for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Beaver Slide Nature Trail is 2 miles long and circles Interfalls Lake. Logging Camp Trail is 4.7 miles long from which some of the remains of Pattison's old logging camp by the Black River, can be seen. The park has 59 family campsites, 18 of them with electric hookups, and 3 backpack sites.
