Visitors' Center

The Cornell Visitors’ Center construction began in the late spring of 1996. It is located just south and west of the structural steel landmark which is listed in the National Directory of Historical Places and is also recognized by the State of Wisconsin Historical Society as the only stationary pulpwood stacker left standing anywhere in the world.

It is a very interesting addition to the Mill Yard Park. Many people have passed through the doors of the center since it was opened. People from many states and even from overseas.

We welcome things from the past logging era and things of interest that people have donated to us. Many pictures and pieces of interest are on display for tourists and locals that are interested in the history of Cornell. The Stacker is a great drawing card for the Mill Yard Park, as many people have never seen one and they like to hear how it operated.

We have brochures, maps, and shirts of the Old Abe Trail. We also have lots of other interesting articles of the past and some of the present. Come visit us sometime, we love to have you. ~~Hours will be Wednesday-Monday 11AM-3PM~~. Closed Tuesdays. Due to staffing issues the Visitors Center hours may vary week to week. Please call the City Office at 715/239-3710, if you would like to check if the Center is open. Visitors Center Closed for the season.
