Baraboo River

The river front was once the heart of Baraboo, as railroads, industry, and commercial trade gravitated toward the river and made it the initial center of activity. In this area, at various times from 1844 to 1902, the river was lined with a saw mill, lathe, shingle, bed stead, chair, blind, cabinet, barrel head, hub, sash, stave, barrel, churn, and door factories, as well as a tannery, foundry, and two large flour and feed mills.
