Brooklyn Wisconsin is located about 15 miles south of Madison. It has no stoplights yet is in two counties with approximately 1,500 residents almost evenly divided between the two. Brooklyn was incorporated in 1905 by Dutch immigrants who wanted to recognize their New York roots. Several historic structures still exist so, in July 2017, armed with old photos, I toured the town one afternoon and met many friendly people. Several of the old photos came from their very active historical society.
