A beautiful and commemorative park is dedicated to the ideals expressed in the story of a pioneer girl named Caddie Woodlawn. This park is a place where a weary traveler of today's world can stop and remember the adventures of a young girl who grew up in Western Wisconsin in the days of steamboats, covered wagons, log cabins, and real Indians. This area has been restored and dedicated by the Dunn County Historical Society. The Mabel Tainter Memorial is reminiscent of days gone by - the gilded and grand style that represents the best of the Victorian Age. It was presented to the City of Menomonie by lumber baron Andrew Tainter and his wife Bertha, in memory of their daughter, Mabel, who died in 1886 at the age of 19.
