The History Park focus is the segment of the ridge approximately twenty five miles long, beginning in the Cashton area and culminating at La Crosse's western end, as well as the valleys directly adjacent to the ridge. The ridge is part of the "Driftless" region... Because of the link between producer and consumer, the ridge became historically an important artery of transportation.
