(Calumet Cty)
I seem to be more obsessive about my interest in abandoned homes and cemeteries.
I decided to call this corner of Wheretogo Death Watch, and I think it is a fitting title.
During one of my Road Trips to the Quiet Side of the Lake (Calumet Cty), I was headed towards Brillion when I came upon an abandoned farmstead. Through the brush it reminded me of The Blair Witch Project. With limited camera space, I shot what I thought was the face of this once bustling home hoping to capture the Death Watch.
Including a barn, there are several smallar buildings such as a chicken coop, outhouse, a very quaint corn shed, and that is as far as my daughter would let me explore (she was getting seriously creeped out, as most of us can imagine). A few things caught piqued my curiosity while I trespassed: attached to the back of the home is a garage (?) that uses a sliding door that opens like a barn door, as opposed to lifting it. The outhouse looked like it was stoved in by something and thrown inside were cement blocks and other assorted junk.
Unlike The Blair Witch Project, this lot was still full of the crap that was left behind, which to me screams of foreclosure which in itself is sad.
*UPDATE*
WheretoFind: On Hwy 55 (heading North), drive through Stockbridge, 4th road on the right is Faro Springs Rd, and I was headed towards Cty Hwy PP, and somewheres before Potter I saw the house on the right side. Sorry, I don't have the exact address. I found it by accident, but I recall how I got there.
BIG NO TRESSPASSING signs, which I didn't see as I was pulling into the driveway.
There was a lot of interesting things to photograph, but my camera was old and crappy and I did not have enough memory for a lot of pictures. If I had a reason to be in the area, I'd try stopping there again, but I live on the Oshkosh side, so it's a road trip for me.

I've been on a search to find every abandoned house in Wisconsin, I'm doing a photography project on it. I haven't seen this one yet. Care to reveal the location?

Ok, i dont know where this one is but there is one in pine lake, wisconsin. Its a small two story house, and i went with some friends and we found out the walls and floors are decaying. We think this might've been caused by a house fire and we want to know how long its been there, what happened to the people who lived there, who lived there, etc. So maybe you could check this house out and put some pics up on the internet and maybe someone will share some information about this house. I do not know the exact roads to take, but i do know this house is located through the woods and you will find it in an open field hidden behind a small group of trees. But beware, if you decide to go inside, watch your step (decaying floors), and also look out for porcupines. Both times we entered the house we have been startled by porcupines crawling in the windows and such. So thank you and i hope to find out some information soon!
