From the Plover Heritage Park web site:
"The park follows a two theme presentation of its structures. The west side of the park is set up to portray community life and the east end both rural and unique structures from the county. This "preserve" of historic buildings would otherwise have been torn down and lost. The Society has endeavored to create a living monument to life in Portage County during its early settlement years.
