BROWN COUNTY – Brown County State Park’s recent addition to the National Register of Historic Places makes it the state’s largest historic district.
Listing as a historic district recognizes an area that has a high degree of historical integrity in its buildings, structures and landscapes. To be eligible, a district is required to have been associated with events, developments or people that were important in the history of the state or country. In addition, districts on the National Register must be at least 50 years old and look much the way they did in the past.
“It’s a great honor for our park to be listed on the National Register,” Patrick Haulter, the park’s interpretive naturalist said. “It really speaks to how important this park is, not only to the people who live here, but to everyone.”
