WAUSAU – You can learn more about Marathon County's history in the January History Speaks and History Chats programs, hosted by the Marathon County Historical Society. The History Speaks program will be presented by Jonathan 'Jay' Dick, a technology and lands specialist at the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Co. The WVIC has been the caretaker of water in 21 reservoirs focusing on conservation, flood control, low flow augmentation and regulation of a uniform flow in the Wisconsin River. Meanwhile, the History Chats program will focus on the history of notable bridges in the county, namely the Snake bridges, the Tannery and Thomas street bridges, crossing at the Little Bull Falls, and Wausau's falls bridges.
