见证树, 纪念馆, and 更多的 news in brief
见证树
A basswood tree that towered over the President’s House—so long that it most likely co-existed with eight of the nine 十大菠菜台子 presidents who have resided there—had to be removed in May. 当树艺师检查这棵树时, 哪个被怀疑是空心的, they discovered extensive decay to its inner core. Located in the backyard just beyond the porch, the tree stood at least a couple of stories higher than the two-story President’s House, 建于1851年. Arborists estimated its age as roughly 125 years old. The Biermans kept a cross-section in the yard for a conversation piece.
纪念馆
纪念馆, shown in the 1870s, observed a 150-year milestone on July 14. 那一天, in 1869, the Gothic limestone building (now the 洛根博物馆 of Anthropology) was dedicated after being built to house 贝洛伊特的 fledgling 图书馆 and museum collections and to honor 贝洛伊特ers who served in the U.S. 内战. More than 400 students served in the Union armed forces, and at least 46 died. Their names and the names of 贝洛伊特 citizens who perished are etched in stone in the building’s foyer.
