About this record

With the decline of the logging industry in the late 19th century, Northern Wisconsin began to attract tourists eager to reconnect with nature. Some of the earliest resort communities catered specifically to the needs of fishers and hunters, and this guide, from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, detailed some of the best places located along the rail lines.
