Albany Cutter Restoration and Hess Barrel Recognition

Gary Hess continues to work on the Albany Cutter. It is coming along nicely and should be done in time for Santa to use it to deliver Christmas gifts this year. Check out the progress when you attend a Back Porch Concert this summer.

Memorial Day Parade

Once again HBGHS will have a "float" in the Memorial Day Parade. Wave to us as we go by!

AND stop by the Dean House front porch for coffee and sweet rolls to hold you until the parade starts.

The handmade Hess white oak barrels will be posted on the Wisconsin Historical Society's Wisconsin Decorative Arts Database this summer. Check it out at http://content.wisconsinhistory.org/decorativearts

It is an honor for Gary and HBGHS to be included in this database of historic and beautifully handmade Wisconsin objects.
