Abstract:

Papers, circa 1820-1967, of William F. Wolf, an Outagamie County historian, amateur archaeologist, and curator of the historic Charles A. Grignon House museum in Kaukauna. Included are letters concerning operations of the museum, an application for WPA restoration funds; “Dawn of a New Day,” an unpublished manuscript about early Wisconsin; transcriptions of miscellaneous Grignon Family papers, some of which are original documents; and photographs. Single letters of note among the original Grignon papers concern Cutting Marsh, Morgan L. Martin; and Josiah A. Noonan. Wolf's own papers include letters from Constance W. Deer concerning J.G. Frechette of the Menominee Indian Advisory Council. The photographs include interior and exterior views of the Grignon House before and after its restoration, archaeological excavations at the site, and activities of the Outagamie Pioneer and Historical Society.
