Marshfield's 150th in 2022

Marshfield celebrated 150 years in 2022. We trace our roots back to the construction of the Wisconsin Central Railroad between Stevens Point and Lake Superior in 1872. Louis Rivers built a two-room log hotel, functioning as a supply depot for the railroad, which was the first permanent structure in Marshfield.

Marshfield's 150: Honoring Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present

To celebrate 150 years of Marshfield History we are honoring 150 amazing people! People were nominated who have made an impact in Marshfield in the past 150 years, no matter how big or small. They could be a current Marshfield mover and shaker, or someone from our storied past. We gathered a wide variety of people; those with influence on education, government, religion, business, athletics, arts or community in Marshfield.

A committee reviewed the submissions and selected people to be a part of the illustrious 150. Submissions were edited for clarity and accuracy.
