Shining a light on life partners who led Wisconsin's Mineral Point historic restoration

If you haven’t been to Mineral Point, a small town in southwest Wisconsin, you might not know about its many historic buildings. In the 1800s, Cornish immigrants gravitated there when lead mining was booming. Nearly a century later, two men – both life and business partners – saved a cluster of stone cottages that would become a state historic site called Pendarvis, the name of an estate in Cornwall.
