Sterling North Society

     http://sterlingnorthsociety.com

Sterling North wrote about life in the Edgerton area, including Albion Prairie and Busseyville. In Rascal, young Sterling would visit Aunt Lillie and Uncle Fred, just a few miles east of Albion. In The Wolfing, Robbie Trent grows up next to Thure Kumlien and takes on a wolfling as a pet. (Robbie is based on Sterling North's grandfather that grew up in the home that later became Aunt Lillie and Uncle Fred's home. A number of artifacts related to Sterling North were displayed by the Albion Academy Museum, but were destroyed in the 1965 fire. A later collection of Sterling North books and manuscripts donated by R. Marcelle Pett and others were on display at the Albion Academy Museum and were donated to the Sterling North House. Sterling North's boyhood home has been restored and is available for touring.

Milton House Museum

The Milton House is the last, certified underground railroad station in Wisconsin that can be toured. Freedom seekers (runaway slaves) would head north to find freedom. As they followed the Rock River, they would be directed either to Milton or to Albion. Both of these villages had men and women that were abolitionists that would help them find freedom in Canada.
