Our next free public history program will be held on Tuesday, October 7, at 2PM, at the Vernon County Museum & History Center. Wisconsin railroad researcher Arlyn Colby will present a program about his new book, The Coon Valley Line: The History of the La Crosse and Southeastern Railroad. This railroad ran from La Crosse southeast to Stoddard, Chaseburg, Coon Valley, Westby, and Viroqua. Built in 1905, it was sold to the Milwaukee Road in 1933, which continued to operate portions of the line for some years. Everyone is welcome to attend. Programs are held in the first-floor, wheelchair-accessible conference room. Copies of Arlyn’s book will be available for sale ($30 each) at the talk. Note that this is a day-time program.
