ESCAPE TO WISCONSIN
THE RITTERBUSCH FAMILY
Cory and Emily grew up in the Chicago suburbs. At 29 years old, ready to start a family, they found Shullsburg. They were immediately attracted to its charm, proximity to Galena and Madison and a great school within walking distance. They restored an 1890 miner’s cottage on Hope Street and moved into it in 2009. Since then, 2 boys joined their family and they enjoy the quality of life only a small town can offer. Cory is active with local historical projects and a member of the City Council. Cory is enamored by Shullsburg because, “It’s untouched by corporate chains and rural school consolidation, Shullsburg is a remnant of the past and reminiscent of small towns of the 1950s.”
FAMILY TIES
THE BRADLEY FAMILY
After living in Washington State, Michael and Mary decided to return to Mary’s native Wisconsin to retire and be closer to their grandchildren. It was Mary’s dream to live in a limestone house. In 2011, they visited Shullsburg and were immediately determined to buy the historic Rennick House, built of local limestone in about 1855 and an excellent example of the Gothic Revival style. Soon after they purchased their dream home, they fell in love with everything else. In 2014, they became curators of the Badger Mine and Museum and have devoted themselves to sharing Shullsburg’s history with its visitors. Michael explains, “With so much of the town’s integrity in place, we thought it was really special. The absence of stoplights in the county also made me happy. Now the only traffic I encounter is a slow-moving tractor.”
