Special Exhibit! History of Lime Production in Dodge County
May 3 - October 19
by Daniel Seurer, Lake Mills
We’re thrilled to announce our latest special exhibit: “History of Lime Production in Dodge County” by Daniel Seurer of Lake Mills!
Step back in time with Daniel Seurer, whose fascination with lime kilns began in 1962 during a childhood adventure to High Cliff State Park. What started as a “blast” exploring kilns with his brother has evolved into a lifelong passion!
Daniel, a retired software sales engineer with degrees in archaeology and a member of the Wisconsin Archeological Society, has visited, researched, and photographed over 20 lime kiln locations across Wisconsin and beyond. His extensive knowledge is also shared in his co-authored, self-published books, Kilns and Crushers, which delve into the history of lime production in Wisconsin.
Come and explore this exhibit at the Mayville Limestone School Museum second floor auditorium featuring the rich history of lime production right here in Dodge County.
