THE BRIGHT SIDE
The Friends of Hillmoor and the local library hosted a special presentation covering 14,000 years of history, from the retreat of the glaciers up to European contact.
The presentation was given on Tuesday, September 30th, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Lodge Geneva National (formerly The Ridge Hotel), five miles west of Lake Geneva on Highway 50.
Dr. Amy Rosebrough has extensive experience in the Wisconsin and midwestern United States archaeology scene, and her work spans the public, private, and educational sectors of archaeology, including her involvement with the Wisconsin Archeological Society and Archaeological Research, Inc. Rosebrough is regarded as one of the top experts on Wisconsin’s effigy mounds.
The Lake Geneva Public Library was named one of the “10 Most Beautiful Libraries in the United States” by Fodor’s Travel. The Lake Geneva Public Library is one of the most architecturally unique libraries in the Midwest. The Prairie Style building, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright protégé James R. Dresser and built in 1954, overlooks the lake from its location in Library Park and features stained glass and original historic details, including a previously undiscovered fireplace from a 2022 renovation.
Admire the stained-glass dividers, and above the lobby window, spot an original window from the now-demolished Lake Geneva Hotel (a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building). Visitors can gaze at a view of the lake through the building from the Main Street side (an intentional design element created by Dresser) in this destination that serves as a spot for literature lovers and architectural enthusiasts.
