This is a list of towns along the Yellowstone Trail in Wisconsin. They are arranged from west to east. Mileages are from Minneapolis as recorded in the 1920's and are listed here as an approximate indication of modern distances. Added to this list will be information about historic buildings, bridges, and sites. [The Mile-by-Mile pages are just being developed (Spring 2005) and will contain minimal information for some time.]

Hartford, home of the Kissel Kar, is five miles west of Slinger. An historic marker at Hwy. 60, intersection of Sumner St. and Marine Dr. reads: The Kissel Motor Car Co. was located across the river from this site, manufacturing one of the world's first custom-built cars, originally called "Badger," then "Kissel Kar," and finally during World War I, "Kissel." The Kissel family's own steam car inspired brothers George and William to begin the businesswith a capital of $50.00, acquiring a state charter on June 5, 1906. The company, years ahead of the industry in design, produced coupes, limousines, semi-touring and semi-racer types, and trucks priced from $1,500 to $45,000. The Gold Bug, Kissel Speedster, and White Eagle Speedster models achieved international acclaim and brought celebrity purchasers to Hartford. The company reached its peak during the 1920s, having a capital stock of over $1,000,000 and producing in one year over 6,000 "Kissel" cars and trucks. Car production ceased in the late 1930s, during the Depression. The car is now a prized collector's item. Erected 1965

403 Milwaukee
Milwaukee Co. National Register properties are listed at http://nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/WI/Milwaukee/state.html
The name of Lloyd R. Smith never appeared in the annals of automotive history alongside Alfred P. Sloan, B.F. Goodrich, and Henry Ford. Sloan was the brilliant business manager who built General Motors into a powerful industrial company. Goodrich designed long-lasting rubber tires. Henry Ford made practical automobiles affordable to the middle class. Sloan, Goodrich, Ford—each of them a giant in automotive lore, each of them a prominent figure in American business and commerce, each of them directly responsible for creating and perpetuating America's most enduring consumer product.
In 1913, Lloyd Smith was heading a rather mundane factory operation in Milwaukee, watching his workers cut and shape automobile frames at the rate of 10 a day. As word of Henry Ford's new automobile assembly line spread, Smith contemplated automating his frame manufacturing process. He gathered together his engineers and challenged them to design a completely automated process by which auto frames were gripped, sized, punched, riveted, painted, and placed in a freight car in one continuous operation. In 1921, Lloyd Smith's dream became reality, as he went online with his automatic plant that turned out 10,000 automobile frames a day. Given the increased production capability, the A.O. Smith Corp. was able to fill large orders from Ford, Buick, and several other automobile manufacturers, which succeeded in speeding up auto production and product delivery time to an eager marketplace. The site where the plant stood has been designated an ASME National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. http://www.memagazine.org/backissues/april05/features/wheeling/wheeling.html
