One branch of the Green Bay Trail traversed this region. Originally an Indian trail, after 1816 the route connected Fort Dearborn at Chicago with Fort Howard at Green Bay. Couriers faced hunger, cold and Indians to carry dispatches on a round trip which took a month.

Marker is at the intersection of Scott Avenue and Old Green Bay Road, on the right when traveling north on Scott Avenue.
