• Three men that were pioneers in the road construction business, having foreign countries coming over to learn their skills and trade.
• Find out who provided a valuable service between Oshkosh and Winneconne/Omro/Waukau/Eureka before the automobile days.
• Did you know there is a Mayflower descendent hiding quietly within Plummers Cemetery?
• Find out who became an avid archaeologist, county school superintendent, a translator of local history and public speaker.
• Can you imagine being born with a silver spoon in your hand just to give it up during the gold rush of 1849 and then settled in this area to become a farmer. While his labor was hard, his hobbies were rich.
