History
Chippewa Falls was originally a lumber town that became a railroad town, even though the main railroad line of the 1870s went through Eau Claire, about 10 miles to the south. In 1870, the West Wisconsin Railway built a line from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Milwaukee through the area at Eau Claire. Following this, the Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls Railway established a line running from Eau Claire to Chippewa Falls. In 1880, the CF&W was joined by the Wisconsin and Minnesota Railway pushing its way west from Abbotsford. This was followed in 1881 by the Chippewa Falls & Northern Railroad, which built a line north from Chippewa Falls to Bloomer, eventually being extended to Superior.....

@annstirn2 - Oops! The song is actually "Home" by Susan Levine. Thanks for pointing that out so we could correct it!

Very nice video. I was hoping you would tell me who sang and the song. It is not the same lyrics as "Home" by Susan Egan of beauty and the beast. I would like to purchase if it is an independent local artist.
