At the gateway to the Kettle Moraine
Mr. Appleton loved his mother, and since he got early to what is now called the Gateway to the Kettle Moraine, he named the place “Beulah,” after her. Beulah also means land of rest or flowery land. To this, Appleton (we can only guess where his name came from) he added the work “glen” because of the places’ situation in a narrow valley among the potholes of what we know as “kettles.”
The mill in the background in north of what is now the “Tony” Barta Memorial Dam. In cheese and butter boxes, hubs, spokes and felloes and wooden measures.
In the late 1860’s a line of stage coaches carrying passengers and mail added some liveliness to the village with runs to Fond du Lac.
The high school above was started as a grade school in 1862. It is now vacant and for sale. Students are bussed to Elkhart Lake.
