digital description:


wall description:
The economy of Brown County was based on farming, crafts, and tourism. Baumann’s portrait of the community that befriended him, <em>The Hills O’ Brown, </em>includes the blacksmith who shoed horses and repaired wagon wheels. “While the whole setup had a kind of Middle Age gloom about it, the large bellows blew cheer into it,” the artist wrote. “If you can see a ramshackle structure as something picturesque, this was it.”
