Marathon County Historical Society - Woodson History Center housed in the historic Leigh Yawkey and A.P. Woodson house.

Marathon County Historical Society

(1 review)

There are two houses related to the Historical Society, The Yawkey House and the Woodson History…read moreCenter. This time I strolled to the Woodson House. It is only about a block from the Everest. I had been to this grand house a couple of years ago. At that time they had a great exhibit on the effect of the Civil War on the area. I met an older gentleman named George. We talked smart for over two hours. He was great at answering questions about the county. On this visit I hoped to talk with him again; but, alas, he was not there on this visit. So I checked out their new exhibit on rural electrification of Marathon County. I found it quite informative and interesting. You can "interact" with people who used to live in the county by telephone; and listen to their stories. This is a nice place to spend a couple of hours. You can learn a lot about the area. There were a couple of floods that decimated the town. The one in 1913 was particularly devastating. As I am prone to staying at the Everest Inn, I'll probably visit this museum again the next time I'm in Wausau. Hope to catch George next time, I could use another history lesson of Marathon County. If you are a history buff (who isn't?) it would behoove you to check this fine little museum out. There is no entry fee; but leave a donation of a couple of bucks. It's the right thing to do.

From the owner: Tour the historic Yawkey House Museum. Visit the Woodson History Center to tour our free rotating…read moreexhibits.

Whitewater Music Hall - MLK Event in Wausau.

Whitewater Music Hall

(5 reviews)

The Whitewater Music Hall seems to be an old Masonic lodge that has been transformed into a…read moremulti-purpose community center and music venue. In addition to the main hall there is a nice cafe room with places to sit and relax while enjoying beverages from coffee to mixed drinks that can be purchased from the bar. It was the perfect place for Wausau's 2020 Martin Luther King Day event. The main hall provided ample room for the the program which included a band, an awards presentation and the featured speaker. I'm sure that the hall is a suitable venue for concerts and other events as well. The buffet line for the catered meal was in the corridor outside of the main hall which was not ideal (though probably necessary) -- it was quite crowded when everyone was getting their food and the congestion was exacerbated with others coming and going from the main hall to the cafe etc.. The number of tables in the main hall was insufficient for the number of attendees. We, along with many others had to balance dinner plates on our laps and set our drinks on the floor while eating. I'm not sure whether the responsibility for this falls on the event planners or the hall management but it was a definite negative for me. A few other things -- positive and negative. There is a nice display of artwork from local artists displayed on the walls. Even while the MLK event was going on there at least one other small group conducting a meeting in another area of the building. Parking was limited and the cars were parked rather haphazardly (and the ice and snow of January certainly doesn't make parking easy either). We needed to park across the street -- fortunately the county offices located there are closed in the evening.

Love that a venue like this exists in Northcentral Wisconsin and that it brings in such great…read moretalent. I've seen many shows here and have enjoyed them all, except that the last two shows I have had the disappointing experience of persons having a full on conversation right behind me. I get that people will talk, but nonstop, throughout a performance, with the doors to the concert hall mere feet behind us? Even worse, each of these times one of the venue owners has been a discussion participant. Again, never not had a great time and the talent is top notch. I'd recommend the owners entertain their friends outside of the room (and perhaps the sound tech turn down the bass).
