Wild Rose
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Wild Rose, Wisconsin, where the old Elisha Stewart House stands as a testament to the Welsh and Norwegian pioneers. The lyrics sing of the Wild Rose Mill Pond and the quiet waters of the Pine River feeder creeks. Acoustic guitars and a gentle fiddle capture the spirit of the historic Main Street and the memories kept in the Pioneer Museum.
