In 1869, the Suez Canal was completed and the city of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, the chief sawmill town on the Chippewa River, was incorporated. Chippewa Falls grew in popularity and influence. It persevered through hardships and experienced the ebb and flow of wealth and power--and 135 years later, Chippewa Falls remains a vital community. This pictorial history documents the heritage of Chippewa Falls from 1896 through the present, with chapters such as Women at Work, Made in Chippewa for the Rest of the World, Family Albums, and Celebrate! Celebrate! By blending contemporary photographs with archival images and providing opportunities for reflection and comparison, this book contributes significantly to the preservation of the community's collective history.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chippewa Falls Main Street (WI) (Images of America) (Paperback)
Gave this book to George E. Steele on his 89th birthday on Dec. 6th of 2009. He is my father. He enjoyed the pictures and I read the stories of them to him. It helped him share some memories of his past with me. This would be a great book to be in retirement homes in our area.
