Tank Cottage is not only one of Heritage Hill’s oldest and most
unique buildings, and is one of the oldest buildings in the state of
Wisconsin! Tank (pronounced “Tonk” as in “Conk”) Cottage gets
its name from Caroline and Otto Tank who bought the cottage
when they moved to Green Bay in 1850, but the cottage was
already 50 years old when the Tanks purchased it! Oftentimes we
forget the earlier portion of the cottage’s history, so let’s take a
look at the cottage’s early days.
Wooden cross sections were taken from the floor joists of the
cottage in the early 1990s and studied using dendrochronology.
Dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, is a scientific method of
dating based on the analysis and study of growth rings in trees.
The samples from Tank Cottage were compared to a white oak (of
known age) from the Village of Howard. After studying the pattern
of the growth rings from both samples, researchers determined
that the lumber for the floor joists of the cottage was cut down in
1803. Historians had been using a date of 1776 for the
construction of the cottage based on an affidavit signed by
Jacques Porlier. The document stated that Joseph Roi had lived on
the land since 1776 and that it had only been occupied by him
until he sold it to Jacques Porlier in 1805. There is no mention that
Roi had any buildings on his property when he sold it Porlier.
A 200+ year old house is definitely an ongoing preservation
challenge. Tank Cottage was moved to Heritage Hill in 1975. In
1989 it was reshingled as part of a more extensive restoration.
At that time it was disassembled and then reassembled to also
address some structural issues and powder post beetles. This
August Tank cottage received a new cedar shingle roof. Twenty
five years is about the average life for a cedar roof. The wood
“shingles” are made from machine sawn cedar. Cedar “shakes”
are the hand hewn version which visitors can see at some of
Heritage Hill’s 2015 seasonal events such as Springtime at
Heritage Hill. The main roof, porch and summer kitchen have a
weather exposure of 5’’ (the
portion of the shingle that is seen)
while the roofs on the wings have
an exposure of 4’’ due to their
lower slopes. This ensures no leaks
from slower water runoff. The
next preservation phase will be
exterior painting of the cottage in
the summer of 2015.
by Barbara Miller, Heritage Hill Foundation Executive Director - [email protected]
Tank Cottage has also been called the Roi-Porlier-Tank Cottage.
This name reflects the different owners of the cottage and makes
note of the other people who spent a portion of their lives in the
cottage. When Jacques Porlier lived in the cottage it was just a
simple fur trading cabin (pièce sur pièce style) with one room and
a small attic. Porlier was an important figure in Green Bay history.
He was the area’s first school master, was Captain of the Militia
and Justice of the Peace for the British, as well as the Chief Justice
of the Brown County Court. He lived in the cottage with his family
until his death in 1839. The cottage was then conveyed to John
Jacob Astor.
Caroline Tank was an avid lover of art as
evidenced by the extensive collection
that covers the walls of Tank Cottage.
Thanks to a grant from the Green Bay and
De Pere Antiquarian Society, two pieces
of Tank artwork are in the process of
being restored. The Musical Family is an
oil painting in need of extensive work.
Most noticeably, in some areas the
canvass is missing and it is cracked and
torn in a couple places. The piece is
signed, “H der Muelen,” and was believed to be painted by
Caroline Tank’s sister, Clara Henrietta Van der Meulen in 1829. It
is owned by Heritage Hill Corporation.
Astor eventually sold the cottage to Otto and Caroline Tank in
1850. The Tanks completely remodeled the cottage, adding two
separate wings on either side of the cottage and adding walls to
create bedrooms and offices. The Tanks furnished the house with
their family treasures. Otto and Caroline lived in the cottage until
their deaths in 1864 and 1891 respectively. Since the early 1900s
the cottage
functioned
as a historic
house
museum
and has
been
moved
twice to
preserve its
wonderful
history.
A second piece, the portrait of
Caroline Tank’s grandfather,
General Baron Carel Von
Boetzelaer was on display in Tank
Cottage in the parlor. Over time,
small spots have surfaced,
possibly mold or acid from the
cardboard backing. The pastel
portrait was originally owned by
Caroline Tank and is on loan from the Brown County Historical
Society. According to Helen H. Metzelaar, the portraits of General
Baron Carel von Boetzelaer was done by pastelist Izaäk Schmidt.
(From Private to Public Spheres: Exploring Women’s Role in Dutch
Music Life from c. 1700 to c. 1880 and Three Case Studies.
Utrecht: Koninklijke Vereniging voor Nederlandse Muziekgeschiedenis, 1999.) We look forward to having these fully restored and
back on public display. Proceeds from the Antiquarian Antique
Show (p 6) support this preservation work in our community.

Dear friends and supporters of Heritage Hill State Historical Park,
My name is Steve Sengstock and I’m pleased to introduce myself to you as the new Executive Officer of Heritage Hill
State Historical Park. I’m delighted that the Corporation board asked me to join their team and am looking forward
to attracting more visitors to the park annually and improving the Park’s profitability in the process.
In my past professional experiences at WFRV TV 5, Kimberly-Clark Corporation and most recently as the Executive
Director of the economic development corporation of Shawano County, I developed and honed the skill sets the
Corporation board was seeking in their new Executive Officer. I’m organized, possess strong strategic planning and marketing skills and
understand the non-profit world well. My top priorities getting started will be to fine tune the 2015-2017 Strategic Plan for the park’s
on-going growth and to develop the 2015 annual budget.
It’s my vision to secure the long-term financial footing of the park and to, over time, reduce our reliance on Foundation funds for
overhead expenses. Although there will always be a need for the Foundation’s financial support, (and we do serve the same mission), it
will be a priority to have those utilized for capital improvement projects instead. Attracting more funds via sponsorships and appropriate
grant sources are just two of the strategies I’ll employ to help achieve this goal.
Growing annual attendance will also be a high priority. Today, the Park is visited by slightly more than 50,000 guests annually. A
marketing plan is being developed that will help achieve the Park’s goals. Motivating existing visitors to return to the Park more
frequently during the year and bringing new guests with them, (a “grow from within” strategy), will focus on growing our core visitor
base. The plan will also develop and bring to market strategies to attract new visitors to the Park for the first time, (a “grow from the
outside” strategy). The overall purpose of our marketing efforts will be to promote what the Park has to offer and to attract a greater
number of people through a calendar of compelling events that truly engage visitors and related strategies that will enhance the overall
visitor experience.
Finally, I will seek to work very closely with both the Corporate and Foundation boards to improve information-sharing and
communication between the two groups. We have the opportunity to truly take the Park to a new level and it can happen if we make a
genuine effort to work together in a collaborative and mutually beneficial professional manner.
In closing, I intend to meet personally with each Corporate and Foundation board member to get better acquainted. It’s been my past
experience that this manner of outreach is a very effective method to get off to a fast start. I look forward to having those conversations
over the next few weeks.
Thank you all for your support and for the opportunity to lead such a worthwhile and important area amenity. I look forward to tackling
the challenges ahead and for the opportunity to work together to effectively serve the mission of the Park.
Sincerely,
Steve Sengstock
Executive Officer

Every year at Heritage Hill seems more exciting than the last. Many of you shared that excitement with us over the past 39 years as we
celebrated buildings moving down the river to establish the Park, conducted massive Country Fairs and Civil War Reenactments,
reassembled the Moravian Church on site, completed preservation of the Cotton House, hosted the
Clydesdales and the UW Madison Marching Band and were regaled at Music on the Green
Concerts . . . the list could go on and on. Since December of 2009 you followed us from the arrival
of the Fort Howard Guard House in the early morning hours through the construction over the past
two years and as we look forward to a grand opening next summer. None of this happens without
your commitment to preserve local history so that we can share the lessons that history longs to
tell. Your generous support of scholarships for children, acquisition and preservation of buildings,
and interpretation of those buildings and their former residents has made Heritage Hill State
Historical Park a jewel for our community and the Wisconsin State Park system as a whole. We
can’t thank you enough, and we can’t do it without you! Whether you are a long standing
supporter or have just joined us, your financial support is crucial to providing high quality and
engaging historical experiences. THANK YOU for sustaining us. Please consider sharing your
appreciation for Heritage Hill with our November annual appeal mailing. We need you to help us
keep history alive fresh and relevant. Become part of the living legacy that is Heritage Hill.

The Fort Howard Guard House has been whitewashed top to
bottom and exterior work including landscaping is completed. The
exterior exhibits an impressive stone foundation and decorative
archway over the connecting porch. Work is now focused on the
ADA ramp and interior finishing as we enter the home stretch. The
ADA ramp will eventually feature interpretive information about
the Guard House complex and the Fort along its path. After careful
examination of the structure under the Guard House it was
determined that the cells ran parallel, resulting in long narrow
chambers for prisoners with very little light. This is in contrast to
the upstairs “Light Prison” which occupies almost half of the Guard
House building and receives much more light. Ongoing research
determined the stockade was comprised of massive ten inch by ten
inch hand hewn logs rather than a planked fence style wall. Work
on the massive stockade will begin this fall with completion in the
spring. Interior finishing and interpretive furnishings will take shape
over the winter and spring as we look toward a summer 2015
opening.

We would like to introduce you to the Vollrath-Keating Family, Lula, Olesya, Ed, Ruth and Bahdmah. You may
have seen them in the Park over the years as they began volunteering in 2002. You may be thinking what is it
that families with young children could contribute to the Hill? Well, an enthusiastic welcome and a “I’m so glad
you are visiting Heritage Hill today” smile. That is how the family began volunteering at the Hill as wedding greeters. Over the years the
family has volunteered in various areas of the Park from greeting, to gardening, to playing games on the Green, to selling concessions and
playing music for dancing. One summer, they were the Belgian Farm family doing laundry and grating soap flakes. Your newsletter comes
courtesy of their folding and labeling skills as they regularly volunteer at the
Foundation. Heritage Hill has been a terrific fit for this homeschooling family.
Learning local history, giving back to the community, gaining volunteer skills while
all the time having fun contributed to their children’s educational experience.
Heritage Hill has proved to be a great place to grow their children into more
responsible volunteer positions. Lula and Olesya’s volunteering experience has
blossomed into a love for interpreting and they could be seen in a variety of areas
in the park this summer as staff interpreters. We appreciate all this family does to
help make Heritage Hill a welcome place to be.

The school year kicks off at Heritage Hill with our Discovery Days programs along with Outreach and
Learning Labs. These are open to school children attending one of our 3 offered programs, focusing on
either the Fort Howard, Belgian Farm or Fur Trade areas. Students attending these 2 ½ hour immersion
programs, designed to meet state curriculum standards, may portage canoes, cook over an open hearth, grind corn or possibly make a
spark using flint and steel. Any one of these hands-on, activity-oriented field trips is an excellent way to start the school year. The Hill
also offers multiple Outreach and Learning Lab programs to groups. Dressed in period clothing, interpreters bring artifacts and hands-on
items to schools and other venues during the five outreach programs which are designed for multiple age groups, starting as young as
kindergarten. The two Learning Labs programs take place in our modern yet rustic classrooms in our education center in the winter
when the weather makes an outdoor field trip difficult.
A Soldier’s Story Wednesday, November 19 10:00 - 11:30 am (ages 9 & up)
Explore items from a soldier’s knapsack and hear about the experiences of a Civil War soldier. Weather permitting,
students will attend “school of the soldier” on our parade grounds to learn marching and drilling.
Tuesday, December 9 – Friday, December 12 9:00 - 3:00 pm $6/student, teachers FREE, please call for chaperone
pricing This field trip for schools celebrates this loved season and offers your students a look at winter in
Wisconsin years ago. Interpreters will ask your students to compare and contrast life in Fort Howard, at a 1905
farm and in a late 19th century town with life in 2014. Dress warm and enjoy the season!

“The Great Peshtigo Fire – Stories and Science from Americas Deadliest Firestorm” by Scott Knickelbine
Tuesday, October 21: “The Great Peshtigo Fire – Stories and Science from Americas Deadliest Firestorm.”
On the night of October 8, 1871, a whirlwind of fire swept through northeastern Wisconsin, destroying the
bustling frontier town of Peshtigo. Trees, buildings, and people burst into flames. Metal melted. Sand turned
into glass. People thought the end of the world had come. When the “tornado of fire” was over, 2,500 people
were dead, and Peshtigo was nothing but a smoking ruin. It was the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history.
Thursday, November 6 6:00 - 9:00 pm (ages 16 and up) $10/person (includes supplies)

Ages: Juniors 4th/5th grade $5/person in advance (no member benefits for this event)
This hands-on program asks students to work through the process of building a log cabin. They will choose a site, pick a
construction style (saddle notch or piece-sur-piece) and assemble a model cabin. Weather permitting, we will venture
into the park and see examples of a piece-sur-piece cabin. This program uses model log cabins for construction.
Registration is required - call Laura at 920-448-5150 x102.

"Just a Little Froggy" is the name of this weaving project. You will learn to weave over a wide mouth canning jar in an easy

Everyone THINKS their volunteers are the
best, BUT, I KNOW that we actually do
have the best volunteers in the world.
Whenever we have had a need, you step up and help. The
summer season may be over, but we still need help to get us
through the end of the year. September, October and November
we are busy with Discovery Days for the schools. We need people
to help greet the busses as the schools arrive, and in the gift shop
when they get to spend their money on items that will create
memories of their visit here. Also in October, we have our
Halloween event. This is a great family event that everyone
enjoys. We need help everywhere for this. You can dress in
costume if you like, but it is not required. So if you haven’t heard
from us yet, save October 18th and 25th, that is on Saturdays, to
help us out. In December, we have Heritage Hill’s Spirit of
Christmas Past. This is another event where we need a lot of
people to make the event a success. Those dates are
December 13th and 20th, also a Saturday. Those are just our special
events. We also need help to get the grounds and buildings ready
for another Wisconsin winter season. So if you have time
available, and would like to help out, please contact me. As I said
before, You are the BEST!

I would like to tell you what is so
special about Heritage Hill’s Gift Shop, and
why you need to come in or come back
and shop. Let’s start off with children’s
products. Are you tired of all the
electronic devices that your child has?
We have some great toys that can stimulate your child’s creativity
and imagination. Some of the toys are Graces Hoop and Sticks,
Jacobs Ladder, dolls, and more. If your child has an interest in
playing soldier, we have great civil war products to choose from.
If he or she would like to go back further in time, we have
products that represent the fur trade era. Next, let’s talk about
people who like to read. If your interest lies with Laura Ingalls
Wilder we have both fiction and non-fiction books. You can find
out about the real Ingalls and Wilders. Also, did you know that
Rose Wilder also wrote a series of fiction books? We have those
too. If your interest lies in northeast Wisconsin or Wisconsin in
general, we have some books on those subjects. We also have
books from local authors. Did I forget to mention cook books? If
you use, collect, or just like to read cook books, we have those
too. Now, for the adults. We have a vast array of things. If
reading is not their interest, buy that gift that will just drive that
special someone crazy, Tavern Puzzles. Looking for a nice piece of
pottery, we have that. We have beautiful handcrafted product
from local artisans. Choose from Saucy Girl aprons, Ginger and
Waldo solid lotions, “canned” floral creations, walking sticks, and
more. Now for that sweet tooth. We have nostalgic candy sticks,
rock candy, sanded hard
candy drops. Last but not
least, please visit our Gift
Shop because your
purchases help fund the
historic preservation and
education at Heritage Hill
State Historical Park.
