Hop on the bus and take a ride into Marathon County and through history! The Friends of Wausau Historic Landmarks is hosting their third annual Tour de Marathon County on Saturday 26, 2026.
This year the tour will head west into the county and explore five communities with the assistance of local volunteers. The jam-packed itinerary includes:
Explore the exhibits of the Marathon Heritage Center and head out for a guided tour of downtown Marathon.
Step inside St. Patrick’s in Halder, built in 1906, to admire its beauty, as well as learn about the building and its community.
Join in the celebration of Rozellville’s 145th Anniversary with a guided tour provided by the Stratford Area Historical Society - and of course cake!
Head to the very edge of the county and stop in at the Spencer Area Historical Society for a tour of the town.
Lastly, pay a visit to Athens where the Athens Area Historical Society will lead us on a journey through the history of downtown.
Of course, the bus ride will include some surprises along the way.
The tour begins at the St. Andrew Lutheran Church Parking lot at 150202 County Rd NN. Participants are asked to arrive at 11:45 am to ensure the bus can leave promptly at noon.
Tickets are $55 per person and can be purchased on line at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/tour-de-marathon-county--2026.
