VISIT LOCAL TREASURES<br />
The woods and lakes of <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>County</strong> once greeted Native Americans and French voyageurs,<br />
European settlers and roving lumberjacks.<br />
Take a moment to learn these stories at one of <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>County</strong>’s museums. Learn about Ojibwe<br />
culture and experience life in a logging camp. Discover the simple, inventive origin of the<br />
snowmobile and learn about the unique geology of <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>County</strong>. Above all, you’ll learn about<br />
the people of the past who came to this wild and beautiful place. They experienced successes<br />
and a few hardships, but like people who enjoy the woods and lakes of <strong>Vilas</strong> <strong>County</strong> today,<br />
they knew they had found someplace special.<br />
