| Additional Information: | 2023 - In 1951, the Conley family donated five acres on the east side of the City of Reedsburg to the Girl Scouts of America, dedicating it to Elizabeth Conley, who appreciated the natural world. A cabin was donated to the scouts by the Badger Ordnance Plant, located in Sauk County at the time, in 1946 and was moved to the Reedsburg site in 1952 and remodeled. The entire park, located at 1230 7th Street, has been the site of local Girl Scout meetings from the 1950s to the present. An additional five acres were added to the site in 1970. Indoor plumbing and a bathroom were added to the cabin in 1976. The cabin has been used for crafting activities, storage, and as a sleeping quarters since being brought to the property and the park has been used by the Girl Scouts for troop meetings and other activities since being established. |
