Everywhere visitors go in West Wisconsin they are reminded of what it was like
to live in the 19th century. Rich Lake was a thriving logging camp in the 1850s,
and visitors can see what life was like for the lumberjacks of old at Pioneer
Village, in Barron County. Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House
on the Prairie books, was born in Pepin County and her legacy lives on at the
Little House Wayside and the Pepin Historical Museum. The region is sparsely
populated but offers a wide variety of outdoor activities. Interstate State
Park, in St. Croix Falls, was Wisconsin’s first state park and it is only one
of many parks littered with trails for hiking, snowmobiling and cross-country
skiing. The Mississippi River, which divides Wisconsin from Minnesota in the
south, is one of thousands of rivers and lakes in the area. Washburn county
alone has over 900 lakes making hunting, fishing, camping and canoing a popular
pastime.
