38 Goodman Goodman is known for its colorful history. The Town of Goodman originated in 1908 as a logging community, and owes its entire existence to the vision and knowledge of the Goodman family. Robert B. Goodman was one of the first in the nation to practice selective logging practices, and he built a lovely community in which to house his employees. The eighth cutting cycle on the original Goodman Lumber Company land took place in From 1927 through 1999, 417 million board feet of timber have been removed, yet the tract still contains about the same volume of timber that it had in Recreation is one of the Goodman area's featured attractions. Lake Hilbert offers a variety of opportunities for boating, camping, fishing, etc., and Goodman Park, named for "R.B." himself, is a short drive from downtown Goodman. It offers a walking bridge over Strong Falls, huge red pines, two lodges for day use rental, hiking-skiing trail, camping, picnicking and lovely scenery. Dunbar D unbar is your one stop destination for fun and relaxation in Wisconsin's north woods. We have it all from excellent hunting, fishing, ATV'ing, snowmobiling and horseback riding trails. Dunbar was founded in 1888 during a period of thriving logging industry in the Wisconsin northern woods. At that time the railroad was the main means of transporting logs from Dunbar to the southern part of the state and Illinois. Before the town was officially founded there was a restaurant where a cook with the surname Dunbar worked. Eventually when the town was founded it was after the cook's surname. The Dun-Good Riders Club ensures the best groomed trails in Northern Wisconsin, where we see on average 60" of snowfall annually. So pull in that state record brown or brook trout; tag that record black bear and white tail buck; have a family picnic along one of our many waterfalls or just relax driving your machine through the beautifully landscaped forests. 36 l Marinette County

40 In the early 1820 s Farnsworth and his Native American common-law wife, Queen Marinette, after whom the city is said to have taken its name, operated the trading business from the log post for several years. Farnsworth associated with Charles Brush in a business venture, which marked the beginning of a new industry that would dominate the Menominee River Basin for the next fifty years. In 1832, the partners erected a water-powered sawmill at the foot of today's North Raymond Street. In 1856, the New York Lumber Company built a steam-powered sawmill at Menekaunee. In 1853, the population was 478; by 1860 the number of people in the growing community had reached 3,059. Isaac Stephenson arrived in Marinette in 1858, became a town supervisor, county board chairman, justice of the peace, member of the state legislature, a U.S. Senator, publisher of the Milwaukee Free Press, instigated the construction of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, and owned an iron mine. He donated the Stephenson Public Library to the city, built the Stephenson Block, the Lauerman Brothers Department Store, and founded the Stephenson National Bank. Marinette was incorporated in 1887, and by 1900, was the tenth largest city in Wisconsin. Demographics Marinette County Forest is covered with magnificent stands of timber, approximately 231,000 acres and ranks as the 2nd largest county forest in Wisconsin.
