This beaded badger ornament celebrates Wisconsin's mining history, and the tenacity of the state's first settlers. Whether you're decorating for the holidays or gifting, this badger is a wonderful gift for any Wisconsinite or Badger fan.
In the early 1800s, during Wisconsin's mining boom, lead miners often dug tunnels in hillsides to shelter from the harsh winters, much like badgers burrow into the earth to hibernate. These miners earned the nickname “badgers,” and the term became synonymous with the perseverance and determination of Wisconsin's early laborers.
This beaded badger ornament comes with the storied history of Wisconsinites' tradition of tenacity and strength. Whether you're decorating for the holidays or gifting, this badger is a wonderful gift for any Wisconsinite or Badgers fan.
