History

[edit]

The pavilion was primarily built to exhibit the University of Wisconsin's livestock. It has also been the site of numerous other events, including a Sergei Rachmaninoff concert and speeches by U.S. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Harry S. Truman, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and on the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.[3]
