| | Taylor County, Wisconsin: attractions, historic sites, parks, nature centers, trails and museums |
 | | Taylor County's colorful past comes alive in this museum's sizable collection of artifacts and exhibits, including a covered wagon that brought settlers here; a pioneer's log cabin; an old school house; logging equipment, tools, clothing and photographs of lumberjacks at work and play taken at the peak of the area's great timber boom. |
 | | Situated in North Central Wisconsin at the edge of the area once covered by a massive sheet of ice, Taylor County's landscape was gouged-out from ancient rock and soil by the Chippewa Lobe of the Wisconsin glacier and filled with the soil and debris carried by its rushing meltwaters. |
 | | For close-up contact with its natural wonders, Taylor County is crisscrossed by well-marked, groomed and easily accessible trails, including the county's segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, the Pine Line rail trail, the Rib Lake Hiking and ski trails, and hundreds of miles of logging trails, ATV and snowmobile trails. |
