"The showplace of Wisconsin with its beautiful green lawns, gardens and orchards, stables and other buildings, and miles of stone fences." That's how one contemporary newspaper described Stonefield, the country estate of Nelson Dewey, the state of Wisconsin's first governor.
After completing his second term, Dewey began a personal mission to create such a showplace, one that would provide material testimony to his years of business and political success.
Dewey's marriage suffered amid the pastoral surroundings, and his wife Catherine moved with their children to Madison in 1871.
