McMillan Library presents: Gary Hess
Gary Hess will present a historical program on the Frank J. Hess and Sons Cooperage, Wisconsin's largest independent beer barrel manufacturer for 62 years beginning in 1904.
The cooperage was founded by Gary's grandfather Frank, who grew up in southern Bohemia.
Frank immigrated to America at the age of 20 and worked as a cooper in Chicago and Prairie du Chien before moving to Madison.
Join Gary for his presentation of 77 Hess cooperage photos.
