Hidden History of Northwest Wisconsin
Megan Christian goes on an adventure across Northwest Wisconsin, discovering landmarks that paint a picture of the area’s once prosperous, industrial past.
Join us as we visit the Bayfield Marina, Washburn Cultural Center, Plumer Mine and abandoned quarry on Basswood Island in an effort to learn about the area’s hidden history.
We just scratched the surface of the rich, industrial history of Northwest Wisconsin, and left so much more for YOU to go explore!
Special thanks to Susan Mackwreth, Cathy Techtmann, Shelly Holland, and the Ashland Historical Society Museum for their contributions to this short.
