Step into a bygone era in this presentation as Wade House Curator Jim Willaert shares the story of the Wade family of Greenbush, Wisconsin. Beginning with Sylvanus and Betsey—the first European settlers to establish themselves in town—Willaert traces the Wades generation by generation, revealing the family’s story through the lives of their children and grandchildren, while also exploring the era of horse-drawn travel and plank roads, daily life for Wisconsin’s settlers in the mid-1800s, and the family’s establishment of the iconic Wade House Stagecoach Inn.
