Two historians, Jean Stackpole and Steven Hauser, are co-authoring a book on Brookfield and Elm Grove. Both have written many other stories and books about the area.
The new book will feature the evolution of the Elmbrook area between 1840s to today. As Stackpole described it, “The topic of transportation will be from stagecoaches to SUVs and housing will be from cabins to mega mansions.”
Their new book will include many photographs. Your help is needed.
Check the photographs your family has collected over the years in the Elmbrook area setting. If you have photographs and memories you’d like to share, please contact the Elmbrook Historical Society, 262 782-4057.
Just think. A proud parent standing next to his new 1953 auto could be memorialized forever.
