For many years, the La Crosse Public Library has been collecting newspaper clippings and pamphlets about Wisconsin people, places, and things. Much of this material does not appear anywhere else, and it provides a valuable resource for historical research. What follows is a sampling of some of the more novel topics that can be found in the Library’s “Wisconsin File”. Visit the library to find the complete story of these topics, and much more, in the Wisconsin File.

Our thanks to the La Crosse Tribune for their permission in bringing you these materials.
