History of Reedsburg Shown in New Local Book

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - March 20, 2013 - PRLog -- The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series is Reedsburg from local authors Craig Braunschweig, Kali Hentges and David Moon. The book boasts more than 200 vintage and modern images chronicling the growth and change of this Wisconsin city.

Initially a milling village on the banks of the Baraboo River, Reedsburg has experienced growth and change. It was established in the pioneer era of the 1850s and is home to nearly 10,000 residents and various thriving industries. Throughout history, the people of Reedsburg have created conditions for economic success and overcoming setbacks.

Today, visitors are drawn to the city's historic downtown, where its specialty shops and restaurants were created as the city adapted to changing times. Once a railroad stop on the Chicago and Northwestern line, Reedsburg is now the trailhead for the 400 State Trail Bike Trail. Despite fires and floods, the community has always shown an ability to adapt for success.

Highlights of Reedsburg include:
•   Images donated from private collections of local residents and businesses.
•   A glimpse into the history of Reedsburg’s sports teams, businesses and military influences.
•   A photo tour of the Reedsburg Area Historical Society.
