Where's the Stagecoach?
From 1858 to 1872, O.C. Wheelock ran a stage line between Stevens Point and Wausau, about 34 miles to the north. The Wisconsin Stage Company also ran a daily stage to Wausau in 1864. This well-tread route became Old Wausau Road, where the Green Circle now runs. It would typically take a fast team of horses about two-and-a-half hours to travel just 10 miles. That would be about an 8.5 hour trip to Wausau!
