Marathon County Historical Society presents History Speaks – Stevens Point and Wausau: Sister Cities of the Pinery

Our September History Speaks program will be presented by John Harry, discussing the connection between Wausau and Stevens Point and how George Stevens brought the two communities together through the early logging industry. From the moment the pineries opened for logging interests in the 1830s, the areas now known as Stevens Point and Wausau have been linked. George Stevens, Point Brewery, and UW-Stevens Point all have connections to their northern neighbors that run deep in camaraderie, and sometimes, in fierce competition.
