business district of Fifield. The large upstairs hall that held
town meetings also hosted a variety of local social gatherings as well.
The lower floor held the town government offices.
Today, this unique building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It houses artifacts from the loggings days of Price County from 1879 thru 1930s. Exhibits include the kitchen, a collection of households and personal items, and changing exhibits. A gift shop offers books about local and northern Wisconsin history and life.
Greenfield School, a one-room school, was moved to this site in 1998. It has been restored and serves as a repository for Price County rural school history, school artifacts, research materials and books. It is also the society's office which serves the museum.

Wisconsin Concrete Park, Phillips

Park.” Smith created some two-hundred figures

creatures. His array of life-size and larger-than-life-size characters in Phillips is considered to be
one of America’s most extraordinary displays of
vernacular art and is cared for by Price County and
the Friends of Fred Smith. This events is sponsored in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board and is one of six events of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center's
American Masterpieces summer series.

ALL SCHOOLS REUNION
June 7, 2008
Catawba School
Noon; This is a social event with an historic twist. The idea, formed
in 1999, was toi nclude present and former students of south western Price
County, focusing on the Kennan-Catawba area. The first reunion was held
at the Catawba Elementary School the second Saturday in June of 2000 and
it continues annually by popular demand.
A potluck meal at noon begins the festivities, followed by an informal program which has in the past included displays of photos of the 12 rural school houses, a storyteller, audience participation of shared memories, such as school lunches (carried in syrup or lard pails), walking to school experiences, and playground games. Our most ambitious project was to identify all the teachers who taught in the 12 rural schools and two state graded schools. It is a work in progress, but we've been quite successful. The names will be available to geneology researchers.
This
event continues to be popular with local people and visitors as well,
who come back to reminisce. At the present time, all public schools in
this area have closed, so this is truly a part of preserving local history.
The event is sponsored by the Jump River Valley Historical Society.

Exhibits include the kitchen, a collection of households and personal items, and changing exhibits. A gift shop offers books about local and northern Wisconsin history and life.
Greenfield School, a one-room school, was moved to this site in 1998. It has been restored and serves as a repository for Price County rural school history, school artifacts, research materials and books. It is also the society's office which serves the museum.
