Wausau: Marathon County Seat and Ginseng Country
Wausau sits on the Wisconsin River in Marathon County. The surrounding area produces the vast majority of the United States ginseng crop. Marathon County farmers grow American ginseng under slat-shaded fields, and the root is exported primarily to East Asian markets where it is used in traditional medicine. Ginseng cultivation requires years of growth before harvest and remains a specialty crop closely identified with the region.
Wausau Insurance, founded in 1911, became one of the city's major employers and made Wausau a recognized insurance industry center. The company is now part of Liberty Mutual. Rib Mountain, immediately southwest of the city, contains Granite Peak Ski Area and is one of the highest points in the state. The 670-foot summit is a prominent feature of the local landscape.
The Wisconsin River runs through downtown, and a reconfigured Whitewater Park on the river has attracted kayakers and event competitions. Aspirus Hospital and Marshfield Clinic operate major medical facilities in the city. The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum houses a specialized collection focused on birds in art.
