Standard Lime Kilns, Nasbro Wisconsin

Just north of the small village of Knowles in Dodge County, Wisconsin, was a small company town called Nasbro. At Nasbro were two separate companies producting lime products. One of these companies was the Standard Lime and Stone Company. Pictured here are the remains of the 5 kilns that were in operation until the depression shuttered the plant. There was a brief attempt at restarting the plant, but in the end, it was uneconomical and soon closed for good in the mid 1930’s.
