GROWTH is
the only evidence of
life, (John Henry
Newman). In the
same vein, one could
say that growth de-
mands change. The
movement from
summer to fall is
certainly a change
for those who live in
the Midwestwhich is evidenced by the
change from humid temperatures to those of
less humidity and lower temperatures. In the
Village of Kohler other changes have taken
place this past year. Most evident are the
new shelter/pavilion at Lost Woods Park and
the new Childrens Swimming Pool. Plus,
there are the ongoing maintenance projects
and upgrading of the Villages infrastructure.
Amazing how these changes, even in the
midst of our dour economy, bring a feeling
of rebirth and a zest for living.
Our thoughts continue to be with Ann
Reinbacher and her family. On October 11th,
at the 5:30 p.m. monthly Village Board
Meeting, the Steve Reinbacher Memorial
Plaque will be presented to Ann and her
family. Also, a memorial plaque in Steves
name will be displayed in the Kirkpatrick
Center at that time. The public is welcome
and encouraged to attend these two brief cer-
emonies. The meeting will be held in the
Kirkpatrick Center.
Further growth and change in the Village
is evidenced with the Kohler School Dis-
tricts new superintendent, Mr. Marty Lex-
mond. His most recent position was in the
area of curriculum and instruction for the
Milwaukee School District. The Village
Board is pleased to welcome Mr. Lexmond
and extend our congratulations to him. The
Village Board will work closely with him,
the Kohler School Board and staff for con-
tinuing the excellence of the Kohler Schools
and assisting with the growth and changes
for the Kohler Schools.
The Village Board vacancy was filled on
September 20th at a Special Board Meeting.
Eight Village residents stepped forward to
be considered for the position. This was un-
believable and encouraging that such a large
number of candidates were interested in
serving on the Village Board. Obviously,
only one could be selected. Congratulations
to Tom Schnettler.
There will be three vacancies on the Vil-
lage for the Spring Elections: the Village
Board President position and two Village
trustee positions.
This past summer was the Mens PGA at
Whistling Straits. It goes without saying that
Mr. Herbert Kohlers love for golf has
changed the area dramatically. Having
worked in the tech check area, where be-
tween 15,000 to 20,000 cell phones, i-pods,
knives, cameras, and a few breast milk ma-
chines were checked in, there was a feeling
that the crowds would never stop coming.
Hats off to Mr. Kohler for another successful
golfing event!!! Mark your calendars for the
Womens U.S. Open Golf Tournament at
Blackwolf Run in 2012!!!
The Village Board is continuing the
budgeting process for 2011. Throughout the
months of October and November, the Vil-
lage Board Chairpersons will meet with their
respective committees for finalizing their
proposed budgets. On November 15th, the
Budget Hearing will be held for the Village
Board to make the final adjustments to the
proposed 2011 Budget. The public is invited
to attend that meeting. Every attempt will be
made to continue to enhance the amenities
of our community in a fiscally responsible
manner.
With the cooler fall days edging us closer
to the winter season, you may want to con-
sider attending the Kohler Food & Wine Ex-
perience from October 21-24. An
opportunity to pick up a few special gifts for
the holiday season!!!
Best of wishes

What is hospice?
The word hospice stems from the Latin
word hospitium meaning guesthouse. It was
originally used to describe a place of shelter for
weary and sick travelers returning from religious
pilgrimages. During the 1960s, Dr. Cicely
Saunders, a British physician began the modern
hospice movement by establishing St. Christo-
phers Hospice near London. St. Christophers
organized a team approach to professional care-
giving, and was the first program to use modern
pain management techniques to compassion-
ately care for the dying. The first hospice in the
United States was established in New Haven,
Connecticut in 1974.
Hospice offers care that seeks to comfort
rather than cure, offering comprehensive, com-
passionate care for people at the end of life and
support for their families. Hospice is not a place
but a concept of care and can be provided in nu-
merous settings including assisted living facili-
ties, hospitals and long-term care facilities.
Some hospices have residential units designed
to provide a homelike setting where hospice is
provided. Patients facing the advancing stages
of terminal illness are eligible for such care. This
may be a result of one of many conditions in-
cluding: end stage heart disease or cancer, de-
mentia, lung, liver, or kidney diseases, or
Alzheimer's to name a few. Finding a cure at this
point is no longer desired or expected by the pa-
tient, family or both. Hospice care becomes ap-
propriate when treatments are no longer
effective and the burden of the disease becomes
too much to bear for the patient and family.
Hospice provides relief from physical and
emotional pain so that the patient and family can
spend their remaining days with comfort and
dignity. If a patients condition improves, he or
she can be discharged from hospice and return
to aggressive treatment or resume daily life. If
the patient should later need to return to hospice,
Medicare and most insurance programs will
allow additional coverage. Care focuses on the
entire family. Hospice teams teach families how
to be involved in their loved ones care. Hospice
care does not end when a patient dies. Grief sup-
port staff and volunteers usually maintain con-
tact with families for months after the death of
a patient offering a variety of bereavement and
counseling services.
2010 Fall Follies appreciates
school tradition and future
endeavors
On October 16, 2010, the place to be is
the Main Stage Tent at the Shops at Wood-
lake. The Kohler School Foundations An-
nual Fall Follies promises to be a great time.
With the theme, Rooted to the Past,
Branching into the Future, the Kohler
School Foundation hopes to show a healthy
respect of the tradition behind Kohler
School, while also giving a glimpse into cur-
rent curriculum and what can be accom-
plished in the future. Attendees are
encouraged to show school spirit by wearing
anything from past, representing an era, to
present. From letter jackets and senior
sweaters, old prom dresses and uniforms, to
basic Bomber Blue and White the event is
both casual and comfortable.
The auctions, both silent and live, will be
bigger than ever before. Silent auction items
are in all price ranges. Exciting items will be
on the block, including an Orlando condo
stay, a car for the summer, a graduation
party package, Packer tickets, an off-to-col-
lege kit, a weekend to Chicagos Park Hyatt,
dinner for 10 at River Wildlife, and more. A
unique donation this year came from the
Tiger Woods Foundation: an autographed
Masters Flag from his First Major win in
1997. This very rare piece of golf history
will be auctioned live.
This year, the Kohler School Foundation
wanted to highlight the artistic talent of the
students. Fifth grade elementary students
will be working with a local, yet nationally-
known glass artist, Beth Lipman, to create
hanging glass leaves to be sold at the event
to benefit the Annual Fund. Students in first,
second, and third grades will create a mosaic
garden bench, mirror and fire pit for the auc-
tion. The students learned new techniques by
incorporating this project into their visual art
classes. The one-of-a-kind mosaic pieces are
being made with the collective efforts of the
Kohler School art department, volunteer
parents and local businesses. We wanted to
demonstrate a truly collaborative process.
Kohler School Art Teacher, Stacy Stanley, explains the process for painting the tiles for the kids
mosaic bench.

Book review
The Company Town: The Industrial Edens and Satanic
Mills that Shaped the American Economy
Hardy Green. New York:
Basic Books, 2010. 248 pp.
Utopia or Exploita-
tionville? Drawing on his
background as a historian of
corporate social experimen-
tation, Hardy Green, a for-
mer associate editor at
BusinessWeek, attempts to
paint a portrait of the evolu-
tion of American industry
by highlighting several of
the more than 2,500 com-
pany towns that sprang up
around such well-known
brands as Hershey, U.S. Steel, Maytag,
Phillips Petroleum, and, yes, Kohler. The
Company Town offers vivid and at times
fascinating stories about captains of industry
and the work places and products they cre-
ated.
Moving mostly chronologically through
some of the major innovations in American
history, Green begins with the textile mills
of New England, focusing especially on the
development of Lowell, Massachusetts in
the early 1800s. The heart of the town was
the mill and boardinghouses, which pro-
vided jobs and housing for Yankee girls who
worked 12-hour days, six days a week. By
the 1930s, Lowells labor force had transi-
tioned to immigrant workers, textile produc-
tion had largely shifted to the South, and the
town itself was in decay. Today the mill dis-
trict is a national park and Lowell is trying
to reinvent itself as a high-tech center.
Next, in a chapter entitled Utopia,
Green explores the development of pater-
nalistic towns like Pullmann, Illinois; Her-
shey, Pennsylvania; and Corning, New
York. In these company towns the founders
believed that pleasant working and living
conditions encouraged dependable and
hard-working employees. In Pullmann, for
example, which was developed by the
maker of the Pullmann passenger train
sleeping cars, houses came with natural gas
and running water, a rarity for the 1880s,
and the town included a Moorish-style the-
ater, a library, a Queen Ann-style hotel,
and a school, parks, and playing fields. At
least one critic, however, saw the enterprise
as benevolent, well-wishing feudalism.
Indeed, the company employed inspec-
tors, who kept an eye on residents day and
night to make sure their opinions and habits
were acceptable.
From here the author ventures to the
other extreme, taking a look at dingy coal
towns, southern mill towns, and steel towns.
Gary, Indiana, the city that quickly grew up
around the massive U.S. Steel plants there,
gets an in-depth look. The company largely
left the development of the town to private
real estate promoters, which resulted in
cheap frame houses and no codes for run-
ning water, toilets, or sewers. Not that its in-
habitants spent much time at home: they
were either working one of their lengthy
seven-day-a week shifts or brawling at one
of the local saloons (at one point there was
one saloon for every 88 citizens in Gary).
In subsequent chapters, Green discusses
oil towns (e.g., Beaumont, Texas); auto in-
dustry centers (e.g., Dearborn, Michigan);
meatpacking towns (e.g., Austin, Min-
nesota); and a few of the places that sprang
up almost overnight to support our nations
military efforts during World War II. One of
these, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where pluto-
nium was produced for the first atomic
bombs, makes for especially
interesting reading.
Finally, Green briefly ex-
amines the type of town as-
sociated with todays new
companies. Rather than man-
ufacturing based communi-
ties, these sprawling
technology-related centers,
built by companies like
Google, rely on automation
and consequently only em-
ploy hundreds instead of the
thousands required by manu-
facturing companies in their
heyday.
Overall, the book is an engaging look at
the history of industry in the United States.
That is, however, also its chief flaw. We
learn more about textile milling and nuclear
fission than we do about the actual towns
supporting them. The chapter titled Ex-
ploitationville is a typical example. Of the
chapters 32 pages, only eleven are actually
about company towns. Much of the content
dwells on employer/employee relations,
unions, and strikesas if they were some-
how peculiar to company towns. (In actual-
ity we know that strikes revolve around
labor issues and can happen anywhere
workers are organized. Two of the most fa-
mous strikes in U.S. history, the postal strike
of 1970 and the air traffic controller strike
of 1981, for instance, had no connection
whatsoever to company towns.)
The book contains no maps to show the
location or layout of any of the towns, pre-
cious few photographs of any of the com-
munities, and little direct descriptions from
inhabitants about the impact of company
towns on their work. The subtitle (over
which, admittedly, the author might not
have had control) is downright misleading.
Company towns did not shape the American
economy. They were nothing more than
support structures, at best. If anything
shaped the American economy, it was inno-
vation and consumer demand. (And Sa-
tanic Mills? Yes, the factories could be
oppressive, but I doubt whether any exor-
cists were called in!)
The six pages of the book devoted to the
Village of Kohler embody the books flaw.
We are told this particular company towns
population and its location relative to Mil-
waukee. A mere six brief sentences are al-
located to telling us that landscape architects
were hired, construction began in 1912, and
the result was a picturesque settlement of
winding streets, parks, and brick and frame
houses amid plentiful greenery. Thats it.
The rest describes the Kohlers themselves,
the current resort offerings, company prod-
ucts, and especially the past relations be-
tween management, workers, and unions.
Theres plenty about strikes, and very little
about the town itself.
Given that Greens career focus has been
on business and his Ph.D. is in U.S. History
and not geography, architecture, or plan-
ning, it is perhaps not surprising that the
focus of the book is on the history of com-
panies rather than towns. The book is well
written and interesting for those seeking in-
formation about the history of industry in
America. If, on the other hand, you are
drawn by the title into expecting to read
about life in any of the wide variety of com-
pany towns that have dotted the country,
youll probably be a bit disappointed.

Kohler Summer Fitness
Camp has best year yet
Submited by Ken Roeder
What motivates an athlete? A passion for
becoming the best player on a field or court,
an internal motor that never stops, the will-
ingness to improve oneself so your team im-
proves, or a basic desire to improve their
level of fitness. Whatever the reason, over 70
student/athletes from grades 5-12 partici-
pated in this summers fitness camp. That is
the most in the camp history!
Campers in grades 7-12 put in effort 2
hours a day, 4 days a week for 5 weeks dur-
ing their summers. Weightlifting, agility
drills, plyometrics, endurance training and
more, provided a great way for these kids to
improve baseline movement and strength
skills. Their efforts were outstanding and
they should be commended!
For the first time this summer, the camp
was extended to student/athletes in grades 5
and 6. These campers met 1 hour per day, 2
times per week, for 5 weeks. They partici-
pated in fitness stations and strengthening
activities as an introduction to summer fit-
ness.
All campers worked hard. Their efforts
were fantastic and they should be com-
mended! Hopefully we will see even more
participation next summer.

Experience an 1860s Halloween and
Harvest Event at the Wade House
Autumn Celebration October 16 & 17
Where can you take the entire family to
experience an 1860s Halloween and Harvest
celebration? Wade House Historic Site in
Greenbush is the perfect setting to learn
about the origins of American Halloween
customs, play seasonal games of the period,
enjoy hot beverages, experience a leisurely
horse-drawn autumn color tour, and listen to
hair-raising ghost stories!
Treat yourself to a two-mile long horse-
drawn wagon ride over picturesque tree-
lined sunken gravel roads. Appreciate the
warmth of cozy blankets as you are trans-
ported back in time to the 19th century
where there are no distractions other than
the crackle of leaves and the sounds of the
horses hooves along the timeworn path.
A variety of unique seasonal activities
awaits you on the first floor of the Wade
House. As you enter, costumed staff will
greet you inside the historic tap room. Dis-
cover how Americans adapted Irish customs
and began to use native North American
pumpkins as Jack OLanterns to celebrate
Halloween in a new, unique way. Curiosity
seekers may step into the 19th century
kitchen and take a peek into the future by
contemplating apple peelings, roasting
hazelnuts over an open fire, or playing Three
Luggies (dishes). Included with admission
is an opportunity to carve an Irish Jack
OLantern from a turnip, or you may carve
the traditional North American lantern from
a pumpkin.
Venture inside the Herrling Sawmill,
which will be filled with tales of All Hal-
lows Eve past for those brave enough to par-
take. Stop by the Blacksmith Shop to
observe the smithy hard at work, and learn
to play a 19th century game of Snap-Apple
or Ducking for Apples.
Enjoy a selection of temptingly delicious
offerings at the Greenbush Cupboard caf
on site, sure to delight any member of your
group. Relax in the warm ambience of the
caf as you choose from a variety of freshly-
made sandwiches, pizza, baked goods and
hot and cold beverages.

Compression hosiery
the answer for many
leg conditions
Sheboygan, WI Many people suffer from
tired, aching legs that are either the result of
extensive time spent on their feet or sitting,
or they may suffer from a more serious med-
ical condition like swelling or venous dis-
ease. Compression hosiery can relieve the
pain associated with many leg conditions
since it prevents swelling and improves cir-
culation.
Home Care Resources is now offering a
complete line of Jobst compression hosiery.
Jobst is the recognized leader in the field as
a result of their experience testing by med-
ical professionals, focus groups, anonymous
comparative tests, and fit and wear tests.
Jobst is the number one brand in compres-
sion stockings recommended by physicians.
With their own textile research laboratory,
Jobst is consistently focused on innovation
- through development and quality standards
which result in new product offerings.
Gradient compression applies a measured
amount of compression to the leg. It applies
the highest amount of pressure at the ankle
and gradually decreases up the length of the
stocking. This helps the blood in the veins
flow in the right direction - back toward the
heart.
In addition to compression therapy
through medical stockings, people with ve-
nous conditions should elevate their feet and
legs and exercise daily. Compression hosiery
should be fitted by a trained professional
since it is based on gender, shape, size, and
use. The staff at Home Care Resources has
undergone extensive training to assure they
provide the optimum compression hosiery to
each customer. They have products designed
for people with tired, aching legs; swelling,
varicose veins, venous insufficiency, deep
vein thrombosis, and venous ulcers. While
many times a doctor will prescribe compres-
sion hosiery, Home Care Resources also ex-
pects to serve customers who are looking for
the comfort and relief of general leg aches.
Weve added the Jobst line in response to
customer demand, says Robert Pamenter,
president of Home Care Resources. Were
certain Jobst hosiery will also be a great
complement to our line of Dr. Comfort shoes
to provide the maximum benefit of circula-
tion aid and relief of aches and pain.
Home Care Resources is a locally owned
and operated retail provider of medical
equipment for home use. The store opened
in 2005. They are Medicare and Medicaid li-
censed and accept most major insurance.
Their staff is trained and certified in all the
product lines they offer for sale or rental and
are backed with installation and service.
For more information about Jobst com-
pression hosiery, visit the Home Care Re-
sources store at 1139 N. 26th Street in
Sheboygan or call 458-5768.

From Police Chief
Bill Rutten:
Trick-or-Treat: The Kohler Police Depart-
ment wants trick-or-treating to be fun and
safe for everyone. To help that cause, Offi-
cer Sass will be holding a Safe Trick-or-
Treat Awareness Program in the school for
the younger students. He will be passing out
trick-or-treat bags from the Police Depart-
ment. Trick-or-Treating will be on Oct. 31
st
from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. During this time, of-
ficers will hand out the glow necklaces
throughout the Village to any child that
wants one. The glow necklaces will make
the children more visible as they are enjoy-
ing the night out.
Street Crossing Training: On one of the
first days of school this year, School Re-
source Officer Jeff Sass taught some of the
newest students at the Kohler Schools how
and where to cross the road. With the assis-
tance of Police Crossing Guards, Harriet
Tershner and Lori Wychesit, the students
were educated on how to safely cross at the
crosswalk with the assistance of the crossing
guard. The Kohler Police Department has
been conducting this training for the last
several years.
From Public Works
Superintendent
Bruce Neerhof:
LEAF COLLECTION:
Leaf collection will start on October 4th and
continue until December 3rd. Leaves should
be raked into the street along the curb in a
three-foot (3) wide rows. No grass clip-
pings, sticks, or other garden debris is al-
lowed. The Public Works Department
follows a schedule for leaf collection. The
collection starts on the south end of the Vil-
lage where the trees are more mature and
produce more leaves. The route continues to
the west and north sections of the Village.
During the last part of October and early
part of November we may only be able to
get through the Village once a week and
cannot make exceptions since this will affect
the collection schedule. A second leaf vac-
uum machine will be used during the heavi-
est weeks of the season.
FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING AND
WATER VALVE EXERCISING:
During the months of October and Novem-
ber, the Village Public Works Department
will be exercising water valves. The De-
partment will also be performing mainte-
nance on fire hydrants and flushing the
mains. The work will be performed Tues-
day through Thursday. Residents should be
aware that there will be periods of cloudy
and discolored water as sediment and min-
eral deposits in the water-mains are dis-
turbed. If you have any questions about
Kohler water distribution maintenance,
please call 459-3881.

Book Festival Steering Committee
After a year of planning, The Sheboygan
Childrens Book Festival is slated for Octo-
ber 15-17. In conjunction with this event,
several schools in Sheboygan County will be
hosting author visits. Kohler Elementary is
proud to announce that Kathi Appelt will be
giving an author presentation for grades JK-
3 on Friday, October 15th.
In preparation for this event, the library
has purchased several of her books. Class-
room teachers will be reading her books to
get their students familiar with her poetry-
type style of writing. The JMKAC has sup-
plied event bookmarks for students and the
Kohler School Friends has provided the
funding. Several of her books will be avail-
able for student purchase prior to the author
visit. Please keep an eye out for those forms
to go home.
Kathi Appelt plans to arrive at 9:30am
and give about a 45 minute presentation. Af-
terwards, she will personally sign books that
were purchased. Students and family mem-
bers are encouraged to attend her book talks
at the Mead Library on Saturday, as she is
one of the keynote speakers.

The students listed will partici-
pate in this years water testing
program at Kohler High School
This science enrichment program allows students to participate in a community service
project and also encourages them to use some of their biology and chemistry skills.
The students will be actively involved in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting biology
and chemistry data related to the water quality of the Sheboygan River. The Kohler
group is responsible for testing the river near Black Wolf Run Golf Course. Some of the
tests include dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, pH, temperature, total phos-
phates, nitrates, turbidity, total solids, fecal coliform, and macroinvertebrates. The water
test results are sent to the Maywood Environmental Center, and also to the local Depart-
ment of Natural Resources. Other Sheboygan County schools test different parts of the
river. All of the results are shared at a forum in the spring at Maywood. Along with pre-
senting the data, students suggest explanations for their findings, and work together to
explore possible action plans that might have a positive impact on the areas land conser-
vation and the environment. Students attend sessions where water quality experts pro-
vide needed information. Students involved in the program are currently taking physics,
advanced honors biology, or chemistry. Ms. Krejcarek is the science teacher leading this
group.

Kohler School receives
grant from Target
Submitted by Denise Roth
Thanks to the Target Grant, the JK classes are updating their curriculum! A grant was
written for $2000 to purchase new ABC-Time, writing, math and concepts materials. They
will be using the Frog Street Press Early Literacy Program. This program integrates letters,
numbers and concepts into themes allowing ideas to be revisited several times a day. It
uses the Read and Sing concept to stimulate the mind. They are also purchasing the
Handwriting without Tears program, which uses special magnetic boards to assist young
writers. Both programs should be up and running by mid-September. Mrs. Bley and Mrs.
Andrews are very excited to use their new teaching tools and may be asking for additional
items or supplies needed for their newly developed themes.

Board of Education Regular MeetingMinutes
Procedures for school closings
due to inclement weather:
We ask parents to discuss this issue with their children now before the actual emer-
gency occurs. If you are generally not home during the day, be sure your child knows
where they are to go if school closed early: will they go home with a classmate; an older
sibling; or a relative? Have you made prior arrangements with this individual to be on
stand by for these occasions? Please make your arrangements in advance and make
sure your child is fully aware of what to do in case school closes early.
Any decision to close school for all or any portion of a school day will be made as early
as possible in order to afford parents the opportunity to make alternate child care trans-
portation plans. All closing announcements or early dismissals will be made on the Kohler
School web site www.kohlerpublicschools.org and the following area radio/television sta-
tions:
WHBL (1330 AM), WXER (104.5 OR 96.1 FM), WSTM (91.3 FM) The Breeze,
WLKN (98.1)
WTMJ Channel 4, WFRV Channel 5, WISN Channel 12, Channel 6.
Public expression of
board members
The Board President functions as the offi-
cial spokesperson for the Board.
From time-to-time, however, individual
Board members make public statements
on school matters:
A. to local media;
B. to local officials and/or State officials.
Sometimes the statements imply, or the
readers (listeners) infer, that the opinions
expressed or statements made are the offi-
cial positions of the Board. The misunder-
standings that can result from these
incidents can embarrass both the member
and the Board. Therefore, Board members
should, when writing or speaking on
school matters to the media, legislators,
and other officials, make it clear that their
views do not necessarily reflect the views
of the Board or of their colleagues on the
Board.
This bylaw shall apply to all statements
and/or writings by individual Board mem-
bers not explicitly sanctioned by a major-
ity of its members, except as follows:
A. correspondence, such as legislative pro-
posals, when the Board member has re-
ceived official guidance from the Board
on the matters discussed in the letter
B. routine, not for publication, correspon-
dence of the District Administrator and
other Board employees
C. routine thank you letters of the Board
D. statements by Board members on non-
school matters (providing the state-
ments do not identify the author as a
member of the Board)
E. personal statements not intended for
publication
On-Going Fundraising Programs at Kohler School:

Riverbend featured in new
book: Twenty remarkable homes
illuminate the rich history of
residential architecture
What do you see when you look at a
stately old home? The exquisite crafts-
manship, detailed embellishments, and im-
posing silhouette of a notable historic
home inspire our awe, but also conjure
questions of the story behind the structure.
We want to know who built this house,
what brought them here, why they selected
that particular style, and how this historic
home has survived when so many succumb
to development pressures. Wisconsin's
Own: Twenty Remarkable Homes
($45.00, ISBN: 978-0-87020-452-4), by
M. Caren Connolly and Louis Wasserman
with photographs by Zane Williams, opens
the door to venerable homes throughout
the state, satisfying our curiosity and illu-
minating the considerable contribution
Wisconsin's historic homes have made to
American residential architecture.
Riverbend, located in the Village of
Kohler, was selected as one of the 20
homes featured. The gracefully rambling
estate of former Wisconsin Governor Wal-
ter J. Kohler opened its doors in June 2001
as a luxurious, private membership retreat.
The opening culminated a 14-month
restoration of Riverbend, acclaimed as one
of the 30 most beautiful mansions in
America in the 1960s.
Authors M. Caren Connolly and Louis
Wasserman and the Wisconsin Historical
Society researched and carefully consid-
ered 1,500 potential houses before narrow-
ing the selection to twenty remarkable
residences constructed between 1854 and
1939. Built for captains of industry, a beer
baron, Broadway stars, and more, these
houses are a mix of public museums you
may have visited and private homes
you've been hoping for an invitation to ex-
plore. These homes are representative of
the diverse architectural styles in Wiscon-
sin, including: an Italianate along the Mis-
sissippi; an interpretation of a
sixteenth-century northern Italian villa
overlooking Lake Michigan; an Adiron-
dack-style camp in the North Woods; a
fourteen-bedroom Georgian Revival man-
sion on Lake Geneva. The Prairie School
is also represented, with examples by
Frank Lloyd Wright and his mentor Louis
Sullivan.
Elegantly illustrated with the color pho-
tography of Zane Williams complemented
by historical images and watercolors and
line drawings by the authors, Wisconsins
Own offers an intimate tour of residential
treasures that have endured the test of
time.
In a very real sense, history is just sto-
ries about people. This marvelous book
uses stories about people where they
came from, what they believed in, what
they dreamed of, and especially what kind
of homes they built to present a com-
pelling history of a special part of Amer-
ica. From a quirky octagon of the 1850s to
an Art Moderne marvel of the 1930s, the
houses on these pages remind us of the
richness of Wisconsin's heritage and the
importance of keeping it intact and alive.
-Richard Moe, President, National Trust
for Historic Preservation
Wisconsins Own: Twenty Remark-
able Homes is so visually and intellectu-
ally stunning that you can forget the iPad
or Kindle. You'll want to hold this exhaus-
tively researched book in your hands.
A must-see for lovers of historic homes. -
