Wisconsin bluff country could aid in survival of species
Nestled in the hills southeast of Baraboo, Hemlock Draw is like a time capsule from Mother Nature. Descending roughly 300 feet into a gorge carved by water over millions of years, past quartzite outcrops that once stood as islands in a prehistoric sea, the oak and maple forests of southern Wisconsin give way to yellow birch, white pine and hemlock.
A Ringling secret remains in Baraboo
Joe Colossa is eager to show off the Al. Ringling Mansion. Its four floors and 40 rooms have seven fireplaces, 14 chandeliers and 67 original stained-glass windows.
BUILDING BLOCKS: Renovation of the AL. Ringling Mansion Ballroom
The mansion’s ballroom – which dates to 1948, is big enough for 300 people and has a six-lane bowling alley – is being turned into a brewpub. The featured beer served there will be made according to a recipe discovered in a small box hidden under part of the mansion’s floor. The brewpub will also have a seven-barrel brewhouse, a 40-foot-long bar and a taproom.
