Not too long ago, Wisconsin was known for its fishing towns. Fishing was a major way that people supported themselves. It isn’t surprising, either, because Wisconsin has so many lakes and rivers. But many of those old fishing towns have fallen by the wayside. That isn’t the case in Marinette. Marinette, Wisconsin has a rich fishing history, and it’s still a good place to catch some fish.

This town was a large lumber and fishing town.
