HOUSE WALK Stop #3

Ferodowill Home

W1656 County Road S

Alma, Wisconsin

Host & Hostess:  Gilda "Rusty" Ferodowill

 

With the recent snow, the setting of the Ferodowill home in rural Alma is breathtaking.  Located on County Road S off of Wisconsin State Highway 37, the drive can only be described as a winter wonderland.  It is best taken during daylight hours to enjoy the view.  Many of you have traveled to her home before for her annual Halloween Walk.

 

"Rusty" Ferodowill grew up on this rural Alma family farm, left for the Cities in 1957 and returned in 1992.  After several remodeling projects and enlarging the living space it is home, with a comfortable mix of rustic and modern.
