| Abstract | Tells the story of German immigrants and their contributions to Sauk City, Wisconsin as well as the history of the Free Thought Congregation and Park Hall. Max Gaebler, a former minister of the First Unitarian Society of Madison, writes that Park Hall's architecture speaks of German architecture while the archives and library in the hall speak of the philosophy of the founders, who left Germany after 1848 during a period of intellectual, political, and religious ferment. Peter Shrake, director of the Sauk County Historical Society, offers a glimpse of Sauk City, Sauk County, and America during the mid-19th century. Paul Wolter, president of the Sauk County Historical Society, profiles Alfred Clas, the architect of Park Hall. |
