The Hamm's Bear

​The Hamm’s Bear, shown here with Dayton’s Bluff Community Organizer Karin DuPaul,  recently paid a visit to the old Hamm’s Brewery during a Hamm's Sky Blue Water Collector's Club Flea Market in September 2003.

 A famous native of Dayton’s Bluff was recently spotted back in his hometown.  The Hamm’s Bear, who had retired out of state a number of years ago, just couldn’t stay away from his beloved neighborhood.  He moved back in the summer of 2008 and now resides on Greenbrier Street, not far from his birthplace.  
   When a towering elm tree in the front yard of the former William Hamm house contracted Dutch elm disease, it seemed like a tragedy.  The tree had been planted around 1900.  Its stately presence, abundant shade, and nesting place for generations of birds and squirrels would be lost forever.  Wanting to bring some good out of this unfortunate situation, the DuPaul family arranged for the dead stump to become art.  Karin and Richard DuPaul have been involved in preserving local history, especially Hamm’s history, for many years.  Richard’s nephew Tommy, who runs Visions Tree Service, took down the tree’s massive crown, leaving enough stump for carving.  Tommy then recommended artist Curtis Ingvoldstad to transform dead wood into sculpture.  Lo and behold, inside that old tree was the Hamm’s Bear, just waiting to be revealed!

​Rathskeller in the Sky
Picture
At the Old Hamm’s Brewery in October 2004, the Rathskeller in the Sky building is coming down because the tanks inside were sold. The building, Stock House #4, was built in 1948 around the storage tanks inside. The Rathskeller was built on the top of Stock House #4 in 1965 with a lobby/gift shop on the first floor and a glass elevator that took visitors to the Rathskeller. Many community meetings and other events were held in the Rathskeller and, of course, the brewery tours ended in the Rathskeller.             ​
