Edgerton is also known for its association with [[Pauline Jacobus]]. Jacobus and her husband, [[Oscar Jacobus]], were responsible for the first artistic [[pottery]] created in [[Chicago]] in the mid-1880s. By 1888, the couple had moved their business to Edgerton. Although Oscar's death and an [[economic depression]] disrupted the business in the 1890s, Pauline Jacobus continued making pottery in Edgerton until a fire in the early 1900s that destroyed her rural Edgerton home, "The Bogart". Much admired and sought-after as an American art form, "Pauline Pottery" is recognized in antique and art galleries throughout the world.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://wisconsinobject.wordpress.com/2008/03/05/art-pottery-in-edgerton-history-and-resources/|title=Art Pottery in Edgerton: History and Resources|date=March 5, 2008 |publisher= Wisconsin Object|access-date= February 13, 2014}}</ref> A [[log home|log cabin]] from the old Bogart site and the [[factory]] warehouse where Pauline Pottery was first made in Edgerton still survive.<ref name="Pauline Bogart Jacobus">{{cite web|url= http://www.wisconsinart.org/archives/artist/pauline-bogart-jacobus/profile-1745.aspx |title=Pauline Bogart Jacobus |publisher= Museum of Wisconsin Art|access-date= February 13, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.wisconsinpottery.org/Pauline/index.htm|title=Pauline Pottery|publisher= Wisconsin Pottery |access-date= February 13, 2014}}</ref>
