Original Buildings of the Jorgens Property

The original house and barn of the Dora and Carsten "Gunny" Jorgens propery. The property was purchased by Anton and Olene Jorgens in 1916 and remained in the Jorgens family until Carsten passed away in 2007. The property serves as a living memorial honoring the Jorgens and their generous donation to the community.

Veiw of Jorgens Property from its Western Edge

This photo shows the fielded area to the west of the house and barn. The idea has been brought up that this might be a good location to eventually develop a prairie area.

View of Silver Lake and the Southern Boarder of Jorgens Park

Silver Lake is located just north of the village of Scandinavia off of Highway 49. The Jorgens Park property borders most of the north and east sides of Silver Lake. Although the lake has a large amount of weed growth, it remains a popular fishing spot for many locals.

Wooded Area Near the Wetland

The Jorgens Park property offers a variety of environments from fielded areas to wooded areas. This photo shows an open area leading up to a wetland region of the property.

Wetland Area

A wetland area is located on the southeastern corner of Jorgens Park. To the right of this photo is an area which could easily be developed to allow easly access to the wetland area without disturbing the environment.

This trail leads to the boardwalk which was recently added to the property on the lake's east side.

Open Area Near the Wetland

This photo shows an open area located near the wetland section of the property. With such a variety of open spots spread throughout the property, several gathering areas could be easily developed as the park begins to take shape.

Field Located Within the Woods

On the southeaster boarder of the property there is a field located in the middle of two wooded areas.

Northeast Section of the Property

The northeastern section of the property offers wooded areas with large open spots mixed within the woods.

Osprey Nest Located on the Property

This structure was built just southeast of the buildings of the property in order to encourage the area to be used for nesting. An Osprey currently is using this structure as the basis of its home.
