      A fearsome, mischievous creature who hunts the north woods of Wisconsin, the "hodag" has been known to dine on fish, earth, and beef-on-a-stick. It was first "discovered" by Eugene Shepard in Rhinelander, WI in the year 1893, and the "hoax" only ended after the Smithsonian attempted to send a naturalist to verify the existence of the animal.

      Steps for capturing a hodag:

      1) Dig a hole 50 feet wide and 30 feet deep.

      2) Cover the hole with brush and branches.

      3) Use an ox as bait to lure the hodag to the trap.

      Lapel pin shaped as the Wade House historic site logo. The top half of the logo is a man driving a carriage driven by two horses talking to a man and women dressed in old-fashioned clothing. Under that image is the site name "Wade House" in a red banner, and "A Wisconsin Historic Site" underneath.
