An old building in Edmund, Wisconsin.
Edmund Wisconsin, founded in 1881, got it's name from Edmund V. Baker who owned the land. He had donated 12 acres to the Chicago and North Western Transportation company to build a depot there. With the motto "We are small but on the level", today this almost ghost town has a population of 173. Unincorporated today, it lost its post office in 2002. Here you'll find the first house built still standing, which was used back in the 1930's as a site for tourist cabins and a Standard Oil filling station, and the Farmers Savings Bank, built in 1916 and still in operation.
