Wisconsin Hometown Stories: Sauk Prairie

Get to know the story of two villages formed by the fertile land of South Central Wisconsin and the flowing waters of the Wisconsin River. Film, archival images, and interviews with historians, local citizens, and experts illustrate how their histories were shaped by Native communities who first called the land home, the harnessing of water power, manufacturing, and the creativity of residents.
