An exploration of St Coletta School in Jefferson, Wisconsin. This remarkable facility is in the rural isolation of Wisconsin well away from urban areas. There are many anomalies to be explored and examined. This could be considered a possible pre-existing civilization/Tartarian building, or it could simply be a remarkable achievement by a devout pious Catholic religious order out of Milwaukee. St. Coletta contains a fascinating amalgamation of both origins.

I am a Jefferson native. My mother worked at St Coletta for most of my life and she even got to work with Rose Kennedy sometimes. Its been empty now for years but, I still take a drive around it quite often
No way! I lived in this town and still live in this town my entire life. I had a feeling about st colletta! I used to work there actually when I was 19. Third shift and I had to go through the tunnels and it was creepy as hell. Lol
I must say that this facility does have a very good reputation for being good caretakers of the mentally and physically handicapped that live there. The buildings were different group homes. Boys wings and adult men wings and women group homes and young girl group homes. My mother worked there for a really long time too and she adored her clients that she took care of. I did always wonder about that facility and about a year ago I was questioning It I kind of think it might have been one of those orphanages or asylums.. We also had a pretty large "poor farm" That was built in the middle of the 1800s That eventually became an old folks home ( It was always called Jefferson country home and farm) and was tore down and rebuilt more modern but that was also torn down probably 15 years ago. Another interesting thing that I've pondered for many years is in 1869 they built a liberal institute and it was massive and according to my local history book it was built for 50 students. At the time the cost of the building was $30,000 and considered one of the finest buildings in the state oddly it closed a few years later. It eventually was purchased by the city and used as high school but naturally it burnt down.
Actually I pulled out one of my founding of Jefferson books and it shows that that country home also had a huge sanitarium building and that's the building that eventually turned into the old folks home. The sanitarium building was built for TB ..which I've always had questions about.. in 1912.
Those old Jefferson pictures I saw when I had dinner in the cafe there were very revealing, especially with the trolley!
Interesting video! I had never heard of the St Coletta School.
Yes, it is not exactly on the main path.
I had never heard of it, either, and I’m a Minnesotan. Great video!
@@rebeccabrown5014 Thank you, many people in the town were not fully aware of it either. They knew of the facility but had no idea how large it is or the story behind it.
Wisconsin has some good ones, St Coletta kinda reminds me of the old MG&E buildings that are also connected to the Mendota mental health campus.... i heard that the steam power generated at the Mendota facility powered all of Madison area at one time
Wonder if it had a role in the Odd Fellow orphanages? Baby factory for the orphan train's?
It clearly had some sort of essential role. That society seemed to have a place to send people from every walk of life.
Man I wish I would have known you were driving through my areas. I could have given you some good places to examine. Kenosha has some huge buildings in the old world style. Racine also and many counties through to Milwaukee. Appreciate your work. Thanks.
I may just happen to be returning to these areas. :)
Agree! If you visit Racine you will be blown away by the DeKoven Center; originally Racine College. Most of these amazing buildings were built between 1852-1876. You have to wonder why they supposedly built this when the population of Racine was only between 5,000-10,000.
I have photos of these buildings as recent of 2 years ago. I live in fort atkinson wisconsin and spent a day photographing the abandoned buildings. There was a feeling of awe and wonder of the history of these buildings as I snapped photos that day.
My name is Rosean Otis. You can locate me if you like, I would enjoy sharing my photos with you
Thank you, that entire little area of Wisconsin between the three cities is so very interesting.
St. John’s Northwestern Academy in Delafield has fort and castle structure buildings which you may find interesting.
I am familiar with this place from watching a different video
We are homesick for something. But we don’t know what it is.

You are doing the grand tour of the content today? I am flattered. :)
I am a binge watcher when I find a great new channel 😂
One could think Pope Francis was a Franciscan of St Francis. . .but being a Jesuit, and the Jesuit General or Black Pope answers only to the White Pope, it makes more sense Pope Francis took his name from Francis Xavier, right hand of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits.
A coup happened that affects the whole world and no one blinked.
You could be on to something with that one. Something has clearly changed at fundamental levels.
The Black Pope is the most powerful. Orsini is over everybody.
Why this conspiratorial tone to the video? St Coletta’s was a fine institution doing wonderful work to care for the developmentally disabled. The Sisters were not evil or funded by shadowy characters as far as I ever knew. I never once saw any evidence of mistreatment or maltreatment of St Coletta’s student body. My sister joyfully attended summer camp there for many years and then my parents placed her there for her final two years of high school and she lived briefly in a group home after her high school graduation. The decision to send her away to board at high school was agonizing for our parents bc we didn’t want to be parted as a family. But my sister’s educational opportunities at that time were unbelievably limited in our small town. And my sister had been attacked in her mainstreaming experience at our local public high school. Options were very limited in the 1970’s and 1980’s for educational and vocational training for the disabled. St Coletta’ s was a godsend and my sister was loved and supported there and held to a high standard for her good and for her growth. It was an important time for her to gain independence and job and life skills too, even beyond the classroom. And she made wonderful friends among other students, the sisters, the educators, care-givers and staff. She only left when my parents moved to Florida and she joined another amazing community for the disabled near Miami Lakes, FL, also run by immigrant sisters (Order of St Joseph, founded in Italy). There is nothing sinister about St Coletta’s, in my experience. I wonder (but do not know for a fact) if a major part of their funding might have come from the Kennedy family and that may have ceased when Rosemary Kennedy passed in 2005. So perhaps they have now decided to downsize and focus more attention on group homes and integration of the disabled into communities of South East Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. You ask so many questions in this video, as if implying something sinister, instead of researching or interviewing people who may be able to provide you with actual answers. Research, not innuendos and suggestion of conspiracy theories with no basis in presented fact, is what is needed here. Very respectfully. Just because a large campus has had to be abandoned or sold to fund other good works that continue to this day, does not mean there were nefarious acts or funding sources in its history. It is an empty campus where many fine and good works were accomplished for over a century. Well done, I say. St Francis and all of those sisters living in simplicity and service in his name should be proud of what was accomplished there. I hope the good karma follows whomever might build something good and beautiful there going forward.
You should have said this a year ago, You may have prevented all these explorations. ;) Then again, maybe not. I have seen the true nature long before looking into any buildings.
why are the important parts in "quotes" like mocking almost 😮
Recurring theme in this line of research.
