Highway 41 Streetview trek: let's all go to Peshtigo

 

Appropriate that I am posting this on the day after the 150th anniversary of the Great Peshtigo Fire, somewhat overshadowed in history by another fire, in a city through which Highway 41 also passes, i.e., Chicago.  (I never even noted that connection until this very moment.)    So this posting in the end-to-end Streetview trek visits downtown Peshtigo.


A short trip off the highway to see downtown Peshtigo and the Peshtigo Dam.

Just above Peshtigo Dam; Business Highway 41 actually crosses over this bridge.




Now, the Peshtigo Historical Society and Fire Museum. If you'll remember, on the previous leg of the trek, I mentioned the Great Peshtigo Fire; it's linked above.  



This multi-street intersection on the west "bank" of the Peshtigo River is as close to a downtown as I could find. The view looks at the Peshtigo Cafe, probably a nice place to eat.




Approaching Marinette, with a train by the highway.


Just ahead, on the other side of the river from Marinette, is Menominee -- and Michigan.
