Wisconsin Hometown Stories - Sauk Prairie

Wisconsin Hometown Stories: Sauk Prairie tells the story of two villages formed by both the fertile land of South Central Wisconsin and the flowing waters of the Wisconsin River. The histories of Sauk City and Prairie du Sac have been shaped by the Native communities who first made their home on the land, the harnessing of powerful water resources, local manufacturing built to meet the needs of a nation in peril, a shared love of the land, and the creative spirit of its people.Film, archival images, and interviews with historians, local citizens and experts illustrate rich stories of the Sauk Prairie region’s past and the resilience and creativity of its residents across generations.Learn more about Wisconsin’s history at WisconsinHometownStories.orgWisconsin Hometown Stories: Sauk Prairie was funded by major support from Greg and Carol Griffin, Darlene Ballweg, Culver’s Foundation, and Wollersheim Winery & Distillery, with additional support from Bank of Prairie du Sac, Sid and Li
