A - Astronomy
Notice the nearby observatory! The Modine Benstead Observatory includes two domed observatories as part of the facility. The main building includes the 16-inch telescope, an observation deck, library and meeting room. The smaller domed building houses our 14-inch telescope.
Tolls.
According to a history of Racine County published in 1916, the toll was about 2 cents a mile for a wagon and team of horses. Anyone traveling for a religious meeting or funeral did not have to pay, however.
