Yellowstone Trail Day

The Yellowstone Trail began in 1912 when a group of South Dakota businessmen worked to establish a route from Boston to Seattle for early automobile tourists to travel cross country and visit Yellowstone National Park. In southeast Wisconsin, the Yellowstone Trail followed the route of Hwy. 175 in Washington, Dodge and Fond du Lac counties.Many businesses catering to the influx of automobile tourists sprung up along the trail. The Yellowstone Trail Association provided maps, marked the trail with signs and painted yellow arrows, and promoted the route until the 1930’s. The YTA again promotes the Yellowstone Trail as a fun and historical auto route today.

Start at any of the locations ( Byron Historical Society, Lomira Historical Society, Theresa Historical Society, or Slinger Historical Museum) and get your free Yellowstone Trail tour guide to begin your time travel experience and see landmarks from the era still here today! Visit multiple historical societies in one day! Enjoy a fun day on the road with other vehicles, old and new, celebrating the history of “A Good Road from Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound”.
