Hard to remember that only two weeks ago the trees were barely changing color, and now they are simply bare. Mid-October in southern Wisconsin saw only a few days when the sun peeked out, and this was one of those sparkly autumn days that I consider true gifts.
Another photograph from my favorite of the Wisconsin’s Historical Society sites, Old World Wisconsin, which documents the settlement of 19th- and early 20th-century Wisconsin. There is an 1870s crossroads village, where this wagon and buildings were photographed, and 10 ethnic farmsteads located on 576 acres of wooded hills in the Southern Unit of Kettle Moraine State Forest.
