In 1884, the men and women of the Free Congregation of Sauk County, Wisconsin erected a new meeting hall in a wooded lot on the edge of Sauk City. This book tells the story of the people who commissioned the construction, the community it served and the man who designed it. Park hall is more than a meeting place. It is a symbol of the freedoms its builders sought when they came to the United States from Germany after the failure of the liberal revolution of 1848. Here they could practice their beliefs, express their thoughts, search for the truth, as they could not in their home land. 64 pages, numerous photos.
