Dziekanowski Farm Papers, 1933-2001
Abstract
This collection contains papers relating to the Dziekanowski family and their former farm in North Amherst.
Biographical Note
Chester Sr. (1897-1990) and Rose (Wysocki) Dziekanowski (1903-1968) purchased the farm in 1932 and built a successful commercial dairy operation. They had two sons: Chester Jr. (1938-2004), who became a Professor of Biology at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and Edwin (1940-2014), who remained on the farm after his father passed. The Dziekanowski heirs sold the property to the North Amherst Community Farm in 2005, who then leased the property to Simple Gifts Farm on a long-term lease.
