    3. The Mayville News still runs a page titled "News in Review". Someone at the Mayville News has translated the articles from the Dodge County Pioneer for publication in the Mayville News. The Hartford History Room has the Dodge County Pioneer from about 1880 to about 1920 translated and indexed if your looking for information from the old German language newspaper. This is the only place in the state that I know of that has the Dodge County Pioneer in English. I lived in Theresa in the 1950-1960 and I don't remember a Husting's tavern or Herberg's concert hall in the area. By the 1950's both may of been closed or renamed.
