Badger Paper Mill

The Badger Paper mill was the largest papermill in the country at the time it was built in 1885. The owners/managers were Joseph Vilas, Henry Frambach, John Stoveken. The Mill was destroyed by fire in the late 1890's. The site and foundations were reused in the early 1900's when a Hydroelectric facility was built. This hydroelectric facility is still in operation at a young age of 100 years, producing electricity for the Kaukauna utilities.
