The first people to step foot on North America were called Paleo-Indians. Eventually the Ojibwe or Chippewa tribes were formed in northern Wisconsin. As European settlers moved to the area, the tribes were moved to reservations.

The vast forests for logging and the Wisconsin River and its tributaries enticed immigrants from other countries. If immigrants could not afford the journey, August Kickbusch helped immigrants from Germany and Frederick Rietbrock recruited immigrants from Poland. After the Vietnam Conflict, many immigrants from Laos and Vietnam came to Marathon County.

Would you work to clear away stumps and rocks from your soil? Most farmers were subsistence farmers, they only farmed enough land to feed their families. Many farmers had to work additional jobs such as logging in the winter. Would you be a Marathon County farmer in the 1870s?

They saved your back! Cows could prosper on smaller pieces of land with stumps and rocks in it. But now, what do you do with all the milk?

Logging was done in the winter. It finished in time for the spring thaw of the Wisconsin River. Logs were transported to sawmills and then on to lumber buyers.

Almost all of the trees were cut down by the early 1900s Do you think it is possible to cut down every tree in Marathon County?

Ginseng has been cultivated in Marathon County since the 1890s John Ringle’s land forced him to close his sawmill, but he used the clay to make bricks! In 1963 the Schuette brothers began delivering pre-built homes. Early 1900s the Fromm’s brothers accomplished their dream of selling silver fox fur.

The first salesmen provided supplies out of the back of their wagons. By 1905 Wausau was filled with businesses. By the 1910s local logging was ending. Wausau had to transition sawmills to production companies.
