| Additional Information: | The Warner Memorial Road is the northern entrance to the park and was a gift from Wilbur W. Warner, a successful merchant in Madison and a Baraboo native. The road was built in 1920-1921 from Baraboo to the Chateau on the north shore of Devil's Lake and the site consists of the pair of entrance pillars that flank the entrance, three culverts, with their associated headwalls, two stone curbs, and two long retaining walls, all built out of the local quartzite stone. |
