The Vogt woodshed stood on the Karl Vogt property on the east side of Granville Road just north of the Lindenwood School, was constructed between 1895 and 1900, and was moved to its present location in 1985. Karl Vogt immigrated to the Freistadt community from Germany in 1844. In the mid 1800's, wood was the primary source of fuel because coal, gas, and electricity were not widely available or practical, so wood fires heated homes and cooked food, making it essential to keep firewood dry and ready. Early settlers harvested firewood in winter and early spring, cut it into logs, stacked it to dry through the summer, and in fall moved the winter supply into the woodshed, which had to be fully stocked to last the long Wisconsin winters, while smaller amounts were stored there year-round and split as needed. On the same farm as the Chicken Coop, about one mile east on Farmdale Road, a Lawson water cooled gasoline burning engine served as a portable farm power source from approximately 1890 to 1930 before electricity was available in the area. Unlike modern gas burning engines, it had no spark plugs but used an igniter to make a spark, and it also had an electric generator. It powered milk machines, pumped water, churned butter, ran a washing machine, ground feed for cattle, and operated a silo elevator, and at 1.5 horse power it replaced horses in many tasks. The engine was given to the Freistadt Historical Society for its 125th Church anniversary.
