Congratulations to the Palm Tree Road Bridge in the Town of Marshfield, Fond du Lac County, for recently being added to the State Register of Historic Places!

The Palm Tree Road Bridge has been added to the State Register for its architectural significance as a stone bridge. It was designed with a Roman profile, composed of limestone and mortar. A simple design, the bridge is a continuous nine-span structure with metal railings that extends across the Sheboygan River. The symmetrical plan features a large, central arch flanked by four spans with decreasing sizes, each framed by voussoirs. Constructed in 1901, it still retains a high degree of structural and architectural integrity.

Also known as the Nine-Arch Bridge, it was constructed by Alphonse Halter, a local stone mason. Located in a rural area, it was recently converted to pedestrian and bicycle traffic only. The Palm Tree Road Bridge is significant for its classical design at the turn-of-the-twentieth-century as the largest known stone bridge in the State of Wisconsin.

An amazing photo of fascinating maneuvers of a squadron of white pelicans as they fed together at the Horicon Marsh. These beautiful birds form a line and drive fish into shallow water by beating their wings on the surface.

When fish congregate in the shallows, the pelicans simply submerge their heads and scoop them up.

I think it’s a good time to start telling the stories of the park debacle that got debunked.
(The multipurpose building).

IN THE INTEREST OF FULL DISCLOSURE-
Anybody from LSF that want to answer the questions posed here can definitely do so.
But when the discussion goes to “$6 Million gift to the city”, the dialogue is over. No one needs to hear that malarkey-we know what was going on, it was not “charity”.

Like maybe how the real reason this idea came about was because Jordon Skiff must have told the City the enhanced pavilion where it sits was a pipe dream, and the only thing they could do would be raze it’s and start over with pilings and geofoam?
And that was the reason it had to go in the lighthouse peninsula….because the real purpose of the building was anew version of a yacht club that would be mostly closed to the public…..

There is a whole story behind this. And it all rolls up to the $$$$$ that was being waved in front of the city so they’d let the donors drive a major development on the Sartori property.

Where to start?
