Linda Werth stands on the front steps of the Octagon House. She has been manager of the historical site for the past 25 years. She still enjoys going to work, overseeing the city's historical home, along with the First Kindergarten in the United States which is also located on the home's property at 919 Charles Street.
The Octagon House in Watertown was constructed in the 1850s on top of a hill overlooking the Rock River. It was considered to be the largest single-family residence of the pre-Civil War period with eight sides and five stories.
Three years ago she also saw the construction of the history center that she staffs on the property. In June, July, August, the facilities are open Noon to 3 pm every day except Tuesdays. During May, September, and October the structures are only open on weekends.
The full article can be found in the Watertown Daily Times (Monday 8/2 edition).
Thanks Linda for all your hard work in showcasing such a great piece of Watertown's history!
