Rising Sun Grange
An itch I haven't scratched: The Rising Sun Grange. I drive by this building every week, and I have always wondered at its history. It isn't a Wisconsin-like name. (On the other hand, hwy 26 also directs us to El dorado. Must be an interesting story there as well.) But the contrast between the sign and the signed grows every year. With all of us, maybe?

Ladoga is the Native American (probably Ho Chunk or Winnebago) word for the phrase "rising sun," hence the Rising Sun Grange at Ladoga.
Members David and Joann Goodlaxson of the Waupun area can give you the history. They used to attend meetings in this building before it lapsed into disrepair. I used to live in the area.
