The Dewey Marsh began its early days as a hunting & fishing trading post with the local Native Americans.[1] The Dewey Marsh was later purchased by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to preserve its wetland heritage.[2] The Dewey Marsh suffered a great fire in 1974, which burned in the bogs until 1976.
Today, the Dewey Marsh is noted for its public lands and the County's Dewey's Shooting Range.[3]
