"The only true historical MARKER can be admired in the yard of the Merry Farm of Gotham, It has a fascinating story behind it.
When a winter ice storm in February 1999 damaged a tall conifer which was a proud part of a small grove of Norwegian spruces, and when the damaged branches were cleared away, a definite shape revealed itself.
Two local woodworkers, Dennis Williams and Herb Schmidt, immediately recognized the definite lines of a true Marker and brought it to the attention of the unsuspecting owners of the grove.
The owners commissioned Michael Feeney of Mount Horeb, a noted wood sculptor, to carefully contour the Historic Marker and expose its true dimensions.
The result was the current, one and only, impressive, 9 foot tall, Historic MARKER, revealed in its original and true shape, in Wisconsin."
