      You're not the only one Dave! I only happened to find out Young America existed by accident -when researching Barton.
      Ps. Thank you and you're welcome 😉

      I don't remember for sure. But isn't Young America the name of a small amusement park in downtown Green Bay. I was there once many years ago.

    Excellent content! When I used to travel in that area for business, I would stop and the beautiful West Bend library during down time to catch up on admin work. Of course, I never did any exploring so I’m glad you did that for me! So much to see in Wisconsin.

    This was all very interesting. The only "Young America" I had previously heard of was in Minnesota. I remember 30 or 40 years ago when you sent away for a rebate on something you purchased, sometimes the address was in Young America, MN.

    Was excited to see this since there are some villages hidden in northern california towns. Btw, love your hat! Barton looks like an interesting place to live. Good question that how many people know that Barton was its own town. Commerce street is good name for that street. Did you have to kiss the frog to get Marty back to his human firm😅? Wisconsin house is a cool old brick building with interesting history. That's interesting about Salisbury. Oh no too bad about your boots 😢! Edible oil filters- have heard of them! Young America- makes sense it is a forgotten village. Thanks for sharing the history of it. Love the looks of that old house.
