History of Pattison State Park.

  The area around the two waterfalls on the Black River have, since man first saw them, been a place of inspiration and enjoyment. In 1918 Martin Pattison, a wealthy Superiorite, purchased the land around the two falls and gave it to the State so the scenic treasures could be preserved.

Following establishment as a state park in 1920, only modest development took place. Parking was along the roadside and some tables and simple toilets were developed on the west side of STH 35. No developments, other than a ranger's cabin, existed on the east side of the highway.

  In 1935, Company 3663 of the Civilian Conservation Corps was established at Pattison Park. From 1935 to 1942, thousands of young men labored to transform this wild area into one of the finest of Wisconsin's state parks.
