Shopiere, Wisconsin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shopiere is an unincorporated community and a former census-designated place in Turtle township, Rock County, Wisconsin.
The name is derived from chaux pierre, French for limestone, which is abundant.
The town was the last home of Louis P. Harvey, the short-lived Governor of Wisconsin, who drowned bringing medical supplies to wounded troops near the American Civil War Battle of Shiloh in 1862.
