Located east of Village of Marshall at intersection of State Hwy 19 and Box Elder Road. In June of 1837, Andrew and Zenas Bird were in a party of 45 men that were traveling from Milwaukee to Madison to build the new territorial capitol building for the new Wisconsin Territory. For more than a decade, the present day village was called Bird’s Ruins and later named Hanchetville after Asahel Hanchett who attracted several businesses to the village. For a short time the village was called Howard City and then renamed Marshall after a land developer, Samuel Marshall. |
