Zoelleck's Old Time Summer Sausage, famous in Watertown for many
years, will again be made according to the old family recipe and will be sold
at Eske's Stick ‘N Brick. The meat and cheese shop at 771 North Church Street
will give away samples of the sausage and other products during a grand opening
celebration this weekend.
The store hours will be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday. Owner Bob Eske, a relative of the
original makers of the Zoelleck sausage, said the sausage is made at Stick ‘N
Brick by Bob Burbach who was a sausage maker at the former Royal Meats.

The 1910 Italianate farmhouse owned by Bob
and Gretchen Martens at
The Martens' house is the first home listed
in the 1994 "Watertown, Wisconsin, Heritage Tour of Historic
Architecture.” It is described as a 1910
Italianate farmhouse, wrapped in Watertown cream brick. The property enjoys a
natural vista from 289 feet of riverbank, located at the confluence of Silver
Creek and Rock River.
Beside the historic home, the property boasts
two garages, two smokehouses and the former Zoellick Sausage Shop.
The home is filled with eclectic furnishings
from the Bronko Nagurski-Brett Favre era, featuring wood, leather, brass,
marble and quilting.
At one time, the modest Zoellick home with
their many children had seven bedrooms, which were all very small. Subsequent
owners radically changed the floor plan to where, at present, there are but two
bedrooms.
Exterior improvements following the Martens'
arrival in 2001 prompted the Watertown Arts Council to award them the WAC Home
Beautiful for 2005.
The old Zoellick Sausage Shop closed early in
the 1970s.
