Travel Back in Time to Pardeeville

Pardeeville, near the headwaters of the Upper Fox River, was named for John S. Pardee, a Milwaukee business man who, in 1848, sent out a representative to build a store in the area. Fun fact, Pardeeville is the birthplace of Theresa West Elmendorf, who, as everyone knows, was the first female president of the American Library Association.

Before 1915: Looking northwest from near the corner of 2nd and East Main (Lake) Streets. The wood frame J. E. Ades building is seen still standing on the corner. The building on the right was a hotel built in 1852 and initially given the name Diamond Hall.
