Miscellaneous records of the Fish Creek Park Company and the
neighborhood of Fairy Chasm, Wisconsin, compiled by long-time residents Jack and Martha
Prince. The collection contains numerous photographs of area homes and public events; oral
history interviews with other residents; and minutes of the Fish Creek Park Company's board
of directors. The company, founded in 1892 and dissolved in 1971, bought and sold real
estate in the private resort community of Fairy Chasm. The community evolved into two
sections (North and South Fairy Chasm), and incorporated into the cities of Mequon (1957)
and Bayside (1955). The collection documents the growth of the community, changes in home
ownership, and local pride in the environmental beauty of the area. English
