2023 season on Thursday, February 9, 2023, at 7:00 pm with BHG Board Member
Heather Sonntag, Woods Around the Plant: From Logs and Lumber to Orchards
and Plantations.
Plantations on the prairie?! What’s the history behind trees, planks and
orchards found in the natural and built environments at the former Badger A
rmy Ammo Plant? This presentation will survey some origins, uses and values
placed on the “woods” found in these environments from pre-settlement
to post-commission. It draws on sources like the Erhart Mueller “Sumpter
” series, state archaeological surveys, Dave Erickson films, US Forest Pr
oducts Laboratory reports, and unpublished accounts from an Olin Corp. mate
rials expediter. Illustrations include early Sumpter plat maps as well as i
mages from the BHG and SCHS archives and the Inside the Fence exhibition.
BHG board member Heather Sonntag is an archivist of visual materials at the
Center for Railroad Photography & Art as well as the Wisconsin Historical
Society.
