As early as 1634, white men penetrated this unmapped Indian country. They were explorers,missionaries, fur traders, miners, lumberjacks, soldiers, and farmers, and they wrote their chapters in the long history of the State of Wisconsin. Today the rich heritage of thousands of year is preserved in a verity of way at the points of interest listed on this map. Some o them are dedicated to the history of the locality; other present aspects of history that had an effects on the state as a whole. They range in size from multi-building restorations to singe rooms in libraries or courthouses.
