• Wisconsin State Capitol Fire of 1904 On February 27, 1904, a devastating fire erupted at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, causing significant destruction. The blaze originated from a faulty gas jet around 2:30 AM, quickly engulfing the historic building. While fortunately no human lives were lost, the fire resulted in irreplaceable historical losses. Most notably, the Grand Army of the Republic records were destroyed, and the iconic taxidermied 'Old Abe' - a legendary Civil War mascot eagle that symbolized Wisconsin's military contribution - was consumed by the flames. The total financial damage was estimated between $800,000 and $1 million, a substantial sum for the early 20th century.
