Photocopy of "History of Hixon Forest and Nature Center," written by Bill Petersen in 1989.

This collection is comprised of records of the Hixon Forest Nature Center, which was operated by the Friends of Hixon Forest, Inc. and was located in Hixon Forest, a 790 acre city park in the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin, from 1983-2008. Most materials date from 1985-1997, and include four series: historical background, administrative files, financial materials, and related materials and organizations. The group dissolved and re-emerged as the Myrick Hixon Ecopark in 2008.
