The Trempealeau County Virtual Museum



Welcome to the Trempealeau County virtual museum. Trempealeau County is located in west central Wisconsin and was created in 1854 by using land from both Buffalo and Jackson County. George Gale was instrumental in maneuvering the formation of Trempealeau County.

The name, Trempealeau, (pronounced Tremp-a-low) derives from a French phrase for "mountain in the water". Trempealeau Mountain is just that - a bluff totally surrounded by the waters of the Mississippi, the Pine and the Trempealeau River. This island bluff was a well known land mark for early explorers and travelers on the Mississippi.

Someone out there knows who these guys are...

We are hoping that someone knows the identities of the three young lads with the plaques in hand.  Please let us know if you can identify any or all of them.  Leave a comment.
 The following photo was taken in front of the Pigeon Falls State Bank.  We need help to identify the fellows in the picture also.  We would appreciate any help you can give us.  Thanks in advance!

    I may know who two of the three guys holding plaques are in the top photo. I think the one in the middle is Chuck Pettis and the one on the right is Rocky Bowman. Both went to Osseo-Fairchild HS and graduated in 1989.
