( Very little known site in Wisconsin that is very strange and interesting. Not many people know about it, even people from this area. About 5 miles outside of Marshfield, Wisconsin on Highway E, you come to Sugarbush Lane. It is a U road, which means it just goes around and connects back to Highway E. But on this road there is a strange garden of metal dinosaurs, some huge, some small, that the owner of the house has built over the past course of his lifetime. Sometimes he'll be outside to greet visitors to his strange oasis, and if you ask him why he built them, he'll tell you, "What do you mean why did I build them? I found 'em here, they've been living in this marsh for thousands of years."

WI Schooner Lottie Cooper was wrecked in April of 1896 just off Sheboygan, in a roaring gale. The wreckage was found buried in Sheboygan Harbor during the construction of the Harbor Marina. The wreckage was recovered and is now on display on Sheboygan's lake front. Numerous signs and drawings give the visitor a view of what a 19th century lake schooner was like. The display, the only one of it kind on the Great Lakes, is outdoors and free! From I-43 take Hwy 23 into Sheboygan and then follow the signs to the Harbor Marina. Sheboygan, WI

You think I'm joking? It's a piece of modern art; however, I've never known anyone to refer to it as anything but "the horse and the penis" I lived in Appleton for four years — trust me on this one.

The beginning started back when Merrill was still known as Jenny. Jenny was an Indian and when she died she was buried on a hill. Many years later a mansion was built, Scott mansion.

Now the house is lived in by the sister of the holy cross because the are the only people who have not gotten chased out.

This old school/sanitarium is abandon and old. A catholic school where the nuns used to hit the boys and torture them. It was said that one of the nuns hung herself out there and it was also said that you could here the little boys voices at night. There's a church by it and a grave yard where the nuns are buried. Up date from one of our RATs.

Your description of Saint Nazianz-JFK Prep is totally off.

It was a seminary for young men to become priests
or brothers. It then became an "alternative" college prep school called "JFK Prep". I don't think anyone was tortured there. At least no one I knew was. The suicide you referred to was a female student from Milwaukee I believe. She was a friend of a girl I knew from there. She hung herself in the auditorium around 1975. I lived there for over two years from 1973-1975 and actively sought out ghost rumors etc. Lots of kids told stories but I never saw any evidence. Although after visiting the grounds in 2000 after it has been abandoned a few years I would certainly say it is a bit creepy. There are only men buried there in a small cemetary. Any questions or information about anyone that went there please let me know.

The Milton House, a National Historic Landmark, was constructed by Underground Railroad conductor and Wisconsin pioneer Joseph Goodrich. The unusual grout (lime mixed with coarse gravel and sand) house with its hexagonal three-story tower served as a local inn and the Goodrich family residence. Joseph Goodrich (1800-1867) was born in Massachusetts to a family active in the Seventh Day Baptist Church, a denomination that officially denounced slavery in several resolutions. As an adolescent, Goodrich moved to New York and in 1821 married Nancy Maxson. In 1838, he organized a party of fellow Seventh Day Baptists who traveled westward to Wisconsin to file a claim for unsettled land. The group built a log cabin and surveyed the land for the town that would become Milton. The town, located near the Rock River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, may have been on a route for fugitive slaves escaping to the communities along Lake Michigan that bordered Canada. Goodrich's family moved to Wisconsin the following year and the town soon began to grow. Goodrich added on to the log cabin and built on a frame structure that became the first Milton House Hotel. Prominent Milton citizens, Goodrich and his wife were leaders in the Seventh Day Baptist Church and in local community activities such as the DuLac Academy (later named Milton College), which Joseph Goodrich founded in 1844. A new Milton House Hotel, the building that stands today, was constructed in 1845, with an addition completed in 1868. A part of the original cabin complex remains as outbuildings.

Evidence of the Goodrich family's involvement in the Underground Railroad is substantiated by oral testimony, letters, and published biographical material. An early statement of Joseph Goodrich's involvement in the movement is in The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men: Wisconsin Volume, published in 1877 which states, "His home was a refuge for the fugitive slave." According to oral tradition, fugitive slaves would enter the log cabin located approximately 40 feet south of the Milton House Hotel, in order to avoid guests. They would then enter a trap door and walk through a tunnel that lead to the basement of the inn where Goodrich and his family provided shelter and food. The tunnel, originally an earthen structure about three to five feet high, is believed to have been constructed around 1845 when the house was completed. In 1954, the property was remodeled to accommodate visitors and the tunnel was enlarged and lined with stone. The Wisconsin State Journal wrote of Goodrich after his death in 1867, "He was an uncompromising friend and advocate of the cause of temperance, and of human rights. The poor and oppressed were received by him as a legacy of the Lord..."

The Milton House is located at 18 South Janesville Street in Milton, Wisconsin. From June until Labor Day, the museum is open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. During the rest of the year, tours are given by appointment only by calling 608/868-7772.
