Rescue The Historic Zuern Farmhouse!
Donation protected
I believe in preserving history. "Pave Paradise and put up a parking lot" is not my musical mantra. So much of our future rests in preserving our past and, after 20 years living in Italy and witnessing how centuries old history is safeguarded, I vowed to save our local history in Wisconsin. The Zeurn Homestead was founded in 1847, 173 years ago. The 2 story home was built on 200 acres of scenic Kettle Moraine terrain on State Highway 144, Slinger Wi. and now will be moved to be saved.
"Rai$e vs. Raze"....“Zuern vs. Burn” -Why?
Moving a house is expensive, but it's much more of an exorbitant cost to demolish a house. The price for razing this house and its foundation is approximately $25,000 not to mention razing and remediation damages the environment.
We have our ducks in a row. I need you! For your donation, I am happy to provide a private tour of the Zuern Farmhouse next year (socially distanced) and a VIP chair at the outdoor House Move July 2021. It may be "late night", but there is nothing more impressive than seeing a 33' X 35' structure move down a street! Your assistance to save history will never be forgotten. Our ideas, however unconventional,
shape the course of our history.
My sincere thanks,
Wendy Olsen
