Description
Excerpt from Wisconsin Jubilee Proceedings of the Celebration by the County and City of La Crosse on Wisconsin Having Achieved Fifty Years of Statehood: La Cross County Historical Society Organization May 28, 1898, Grand Celebration Held at La Crosse July 4, 1898
On May 28, 1898, half a century having elapsed since the great State of Wisconsin cast off the habiliments of territorial youth and assumed the "toga virilis" of statehood, a general desire was manifested throughout its borders to make such a demonstration as would be a fitting testimony to its progress in the past, and an incentive to emulate it in the future.
The County of La Crosse, as it always does, quickly responded to the sentiment, and its County Board of Supervisors set the project in motion by an appropriation of $500 and the appointment of a Committee to carry it into effect.
The Committee consisted of W. C. Winter, N. R. Nelson, Frank Pooler, F. P. Coburn and Wm. Smith, and they at once invited the co-operation of all organizations throughout the County.
Several of these bodies responded, and a joint meeting was held at which were represented the Board of County Supervisors, the La Crosse Board of Trade, the Old Settlers Association and the La Crosse County Horticultural Society.
The subject was discussed pleasantly but earnestly, and while a general desire was manifested to commemorate the day by some ceremonial on the exact date, it was as generally believed that a larger attendance could be secured and more enthusiasm aroused on Independence day which was so near at hand.
After due discussion it was unanimously resolved to celebrate the 28th day of May by a public gathering and the organization of a Historical Association for the County, but that a popular demonstration upon a large scale should also be made on July 4th.
