There’s a cute story in Onalaska Community Life about Farmgirl Esther Pertzsch, who after a storm blew the roof off of her barn, discovered a remarkable milk bottle collection from her family’s farm.
She’s added to it ever since, and in the process has a history of milk production on display.
Esther told the paper she only collects bottles from independent farms in the region — from Prairie du Chien to Madison.
For Wisconsin locals, the collection will be on display at the Onalaska Historical Society Feb. 12.
