Nepeuskun is the home of the Nepeuskun Anti-Horse Thieves
Association established in 1859 as a precaution against the theft
of that era’s most useful animal. On Dec. 5, 1889 the group
was chartered, which was one of the first corporations established
and registered with the State of Wisconsin. Its duties were to help
track down stolen horses and the people who took them and turn them
over to local authorities. These days not many horses are stolen
but the association still holds its meeting/dinner once a year on
the third Thursday in January. The main course on the menu is
oyster stew.
This is not a serious gathering for the nearly 100 member group.
However, they have a sheriff and horse retrieving committee just in
case. Humor plays a big role for members of the organization, which
charges $2 for a lifetime membership and you don't need a horse to
join.
Just to the west of this cache is a small horse pasture. Don't
get any bright ideas of running off with one, you will be
caught!
