Have you tried contacting the Camp 5 Museum in Laona WI? It is a Logging/St
eam Train Museum in Laona WI. I believe it is connected with the Connor Logg
ing Company that was one of the logging companies here in Marathon County. T
he Connor’s came from Stratford Canada to log here and that is how S
tratford WI got it’s name. Good luck.
