Where the Lilacs Grow – Jeanne Anderson
Apr 25, 2024 6:00 PM - 7:00 PMJeanne Anderson will provide the history of Happy Island and Old Meridean.
The Chippewa River in Dunn County is host to an island that once was the home of a logging town, called Meridean, and eight farms. Originally about 1800 acres, the island is now a forest plantation owned by Dunn County.
The book, “Where the Lilacs Grow: The Story of Happy Island and Old Meridean,” tells the history of the island and the people who lived there through stories and pictures.
