Yes, there is a sign by Eagle River on the road that was a supply road
and is called Military Trail.
Thanks. I will write to Civil War Museum.
I wondered if the Dept. Of Interior has records. I suppose there was no
Dept. of Interior in 1860.

I know there was a military supply road that went from Green Bay to
Fort Wilkins on the Keweenaw Peninsula during the Civil War. I think the
road followed what is today Hwy 41.

Subject: Military trail
Hi
Does anyone have knowledge about the Military Trail during the Civil
War that went from Green Bay to Superior? The route was purported to
bypass more lakes than another route.The trail was made for Cavalry use
to protect the settlers from Indians.. Then there were no hostile
Indians. A local person related that he had read about it and it goes
thru my property in Price County. The ruts are still visible in places
on nearby land. Anyone have access to history books on this subject or
location of the trail from Price county to Superior?
