Many of my ancestors lived in Marinette County, Wisconsin, for much of their lives. The Knapp family lived in and around Taylor Rapids, a defunct logging camp town along the Peshtigo River that is now state forest land and completely regressed back to nature. It is about 10 miles south of Goodman near Strong Falls. The nearest “big town” was Wausaukee, a short trip away by train. Some relatives lived and still live in Silvercliff, Peshtigo and nearby areas.
In researching the area and my family’s history there, I’ve put together a list of online resources related to Marinette County, Wisconsin. And check out our many family stories about living in Marinette County written by the Knapp Family.
