BIKING
Biking is a great way to enjoy the Nicolet National Forest. One very special event is the Annual Nicolet Wheel-A-Way. It is held on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. It is not a race, but is designed for cyclists of all abilities. The Wheel-A-Way is a 30 or 45 mile ride and each provides a beautiful scenic route through some Wisconsin's most pristine forest areas.

Museum

The Museum, Pioneer Village and Johnson House contain displays and artifacts representing the area's history of Native Americans, agriculture, logging, the railroad, camps and resorts.
The museum proper is a replica of a 1930's Civilian Conservation Corps barracks. The building was constructed with lumber from trees planted by the C.C.C. in the 1930's. The Pioneer Village features a Granary, a Country Store, and a Log School House. A Sporting Shed contains antique hunting and fishing equipment. A new building, the barn, contains old boats, and will house changing displays about the area's culture and life. The Johnson House, adjacent to the Museum, is a 100+ year old home furnished in an early 1900's style.
The Historical Society cooperated with the United States Forest Service in the construction of the Sam Campbell Trail in the Nicolet National Forest. the Society built the Gazebo in Cy Williams Park, and schedules "Free Concerts in the Park" during July and August.
