MARBLEHEAD, Wis. – The lime plant at Marblehead, a company town, is all that’s left of a spot that once boasted as many as 500 residents in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Farmers in Wisconsin may be familiar with one of the products coming from Marblehead in the form of barn lime from Western Lime and Cement.
Part of a lime kiln is all that remains of Crusher, one of two company towns south of Marblehead.
For a time Marblehead has two taverns, one for the Italians from southern Italy and one for the Italians from northern Italy. The addition of the second tavern helped to keep peace within the two groups.
