Menomonie: UW-Stout and the Knapp-Stout Lumber Empire
Menomonie sits on Lake Menomin, an impoundment of the Red Cedar River, in Dunn County. The city grew in the late 19th century around the Knapp, Stout & Company Company, which at its peak was the largest corporate lumber producer in the world. The firm harvested pine from northern Wisconsin forests and processed lumber through mills along the Red Cedar River, shipping finished boards south to markets in the Mississippi Valley. The company dissolved in 1901 after exhausting its timber holdings.
James H. Stout, one of the company principals, used his fortune to establish the Stout Manual Training School in 1891, which later became the University of Wisconsin-Stout. The university remains Wisconsin's only polytechnic institution, specializing in applied degree programs in design, engineering, hospitality, and manufacturing. Enrollment runs around 8,000 students. The campus sits on the north side of the city.
The Mabel Tainter Memorial Theater, completed in 1889, is a Romanesque Revival building that lumber baron Andrew Tainter funded as a memorial to his daughter. The theater operates as the Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts and remains one of the most elaborate 19th-century theaters in the Midwest. The city's population is about 16,500.
