The Pewaukee Apple display, in the Exhibit building, shows the history of this apple which was developed by Pewaukeean, George Peffer, who had a fruit farm and nursery across from what is now the Waukesha County Technical College campus. Mr. Peffer received an award in 1870 from the American Pomological Society for the Pewaukee Apple. There has been renewed interest in the Pewaukee Apple. |
