Some More on Mineral Point, Wisconsin

After eating at the cafe, which is on Main Street, we took a drive around town.

There is a marker showing the location of Fort Jackson on Fountain and Commerce streets. This was a Blackhawk War fort, but no longer there.

Also saw the Mineral Point Railroad Museum and an interesting name for a toy store, Leaping Lizards.

A little farther away is the Shake Rag area. Now, that is an interesting name for a place, so had to check it out. These cottages are Cornish and it got its name from the sound made when Cornish women would call their men in from the mines on the opposite hill by shaking rags.
