has gloss | eng: Pewits Nest is a state natural area that includes a deep gorge formed during the retreat of the last glacier outside of Baraboo in Sauk County, Wisconsin. At one time a waterwheel and mill were located on the site and "an individual lived in the solid sandstone, like a gnome in a cavern." The name of the site was a result of early settlers calling it "Peewit's Nest" after the abode, ten feet above a deep pool of water, resembling the nest of a phoebe (or peewit, an earlier name for this bird). |
