Schubert Cheese Factory
Town of Polk, Wisconsin
Schubert’s was one of four cheese factories within one and one-half miles and was well known for its brick cheese. Local farmers hauled their milk to the factory by horse-drawn wagons until milk trucks became more common. The cheese from this factory was sold as far away as Milwaukee. In the early 1950s, the cheese factory closed.
The restoration depicts the appearance and condition of the factory from the time it was built. The Schubert Cheese Factory was an important part of the commercial activity at Diefenbach Corners.
Erected 2008 by Washington County Landmarks Commission. (Marker Number 06-001.)
