Look around campus for the white oak leaf icon signifying work done by our 可持续性 Committee. White oak trees are native to Wisconsin and are common in pre-settlement woodlands. They are also historically significant to 沃基肖. Elizabeth Clark had her ailing brother-in-law Col. Richard Dunbar rest under a while oak and drink from a spring on her property in 1868. The water seemingly cured him of his ailments. He bought the land from her and developed the site for tourists to visit and with bottling facilities, thereby starting 沃基肖's Springs Era. Water was sold from Bethesda Spring until the 1990s. Bethesda Park, with a clone of the Dunbar Oak, is only four blocks west of 博天堂官方入口登陆登录. For more information about the Springs Era, visit our library or the 沃基肖 County Historical Society & 博物馆.
