History

Early history

Main Street began as "Shanty Row", consisting of five tamarack shanties built in 1850.^[3] Over the next 10 years, the shanties were either destroyed or removed, and Main Street took their place. The Chicago & North Western Railway (C&NW) arrived in 1872, bringing with it many businesses and industries.^[4] One of the most important was the Reedsburg Woolen Mill, which was built in 1882 along the Baraboo River.
