Introduction
Text-to-speech Audio
Christian and Whilhelmina (Mina) Baehring emigrated to
the U.S. in 1874. Their sons included Traugott, Hillmore, and
Liebrecht. They owned two pieces of land, the homestead,
located at about what is now 216 E. Washington St., and the
vineyards located at 211 Kettle Moraine Dr. N.
Christian's next son Liebrecht continued to live on the
Baehring homestead. He worked at the brickyards and
continued to run the family vineyards selling grapes and
making wine. Liebrecht passed away in 1941.
Liebrecht's son Robert followed living on the homestead.
Robert continued running the vineyards and also raised bees to
produce honey. He was killed in an auto accident around 1954.
At that time Fred and Marian Burow purchased the property
containing the vineyards. Marian continued to keep up the
vineyards until she passed away in 1985.
