Tall Grass Farm
N6623 Lake Lorraine Rd, Delavan
p: 608-883-2025
www.mohairconnection.com
Nestled at the edge of the Kettle Moraine in Southeastern Wisconsin in the Town of Richmond, Tall Grass Farm is family owned and operated. On the original homestead portion of a 150 year old farm, we practice sustainable agriculture and work to be good stewards of the land and all creatures who live here. Living in harmony with the land, we raise pampered Angora goats who generously donate their lustrous fleece (mohair) to make the natural color mohair products that are our signature — “The Natural Blanket”; yarn for knitting, weaving and other fiber arts; roving for hand spinners; and quirky wearables. The bottom line is, we are just downright picky about what we produce and offer for sale.
Angora goats must be shorn every six months (the goats get a haircut and go back to the pasture — it doesn’t get any more renewable than that!) and in concert with shearing we host Fiber Jubilee — the first Saturday in April and the first Saturday in October. Jubilee, now in its fifteenth year, is your opportunity to experience a “down home” day on a working farm, see the goats being shorn, and buy cool stuff from other alternative agriculture producers we invite to participate. Just as we are picky about what we produce and sell, so we are picky about our participants.
Fall Fiber Jubilee is Saturday, October 3, 2009, 10 AM to 4-p.m. You can find the details for Fall Jubilee on our web site www.mohairconnection.com

While these trolleys have nearly disappeared from the American urban scene, the East Troy Electric Railroad Museum preserves this unique part of 19th and 20th Century history for all to learn from, experience and enjoy. Group tours & charters are available. For a unique dining experience, reserve your ride on the Dinner excursion - call us or visit our website for details.

Black Point Historic Preserve, Inc.
W4270 Southland Rd, Lake Geneva
p: 262-248-1888
www.blackpointpreserve.org
We invite you to be a guest this summer at the Black Point Mansion. The Lake Geneva area has served as a resort community since just after the Civil War when many wealthy Chicagoans relocated to the area while their homes and place of business were being rebuilt as a result of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Many chose to stay in the area full-time, while others built mansions and vacation homes for summer use.
What began in 1887 as a $20,000, 13-bedroom, one-bathroom home now stands as what State Historical Society of Wisconsin architectural historian Patricia Butler calls "perhaps the finest example of Queen Anne design remaining as a lakeshore estate in the Lake Geneva area." Today, Black Point is considered to have one of the most intact collections of Victorian furniture in the Midwest. The property covers nearly eight acres and 620 feet of undisturbed Geneva Lake shoreline. This historic treasure encapsulates over a century of life on Lake Geneva. The 20-room Queen Ann style Victorian “cottage” has been consecutively owned by the Seipp Family for the last 120 years. Learn how a German immigrant grew to become one of Chicago’s elite beer barons and how his family spent their summers at Black Point. From our original glass tile fireplaces to our first edition Tom Sawyer you will see amazing antiques, architecture, collections, and personal belongings through history.
Come experience Lake Geneva… as it was.
Open from May 15th to October 31st.
Only 48 guests allowed at one time. Tours will last approx. 90 minutes. Morning tours and late afternoon tours available, seven days a week. For directions and pricing information please visit our website, www.blackpointpreserve.org.
