Join us to hear Verlyn Mueller next Wednesday, April 10, at 7pm when he will give the talk, Buildings on the BOW Site in January 1942, the 2nd to last BHG lecture in our series for 2023-2024.
Ever wonder about the farmstead properties that were on the Sauk Prairie before the Army acquired the land to build the Badger Ordnance Works? Verlyn will discuss several by focusing on the people, their land and buildings, what they did on their property, and perhaps what happened to it with construction of the BOW. This is a short description, but the stories are anything but short. There may even be some genealogical surprises! (Hint: These farms were not operated in isolation.)
Verlyn is Archivist of the Badger History Group collection and Director/Curator of the Museum of Badger Army Ammunition. He has long been involved with BHG (salvaging and stewarding its rich collections), and served on its Board for many years. A committed historian, he is also devoted to the genealogical research of farm families and BOW/BAAP employees. In 2009, Verlyn received the Sauk County Historical Society’s William Canfield History Award.
This will be a hybrid event starting at 7pm via Zoom and in-person at the Museum of Badger Army Ammunition.
