Historical marker location:

Mequon, Wisconsin

( Marker can be reached from Church Place, 0.2 miles south of Freistadt Road, on the right when traveling south.)

Wisconsin is known as the "Badger State" because of the lead miners who first settled there in the 1820s and 1830s. These miners often lived in tunnels burrowed into hillsides, much like badgers.
