Thursday, July 22 | DOWNTOWN MENOMONIE’S LADIES’ NIGHT OUT
Come downtown and enjoy the sales, specials, refreshments, and fun offered by downtown businesses from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Be sure to enter to win some great prizes. Watch artists paint a mural at 244 Main Street depicting an early motorcycle, invented by Menomonie native, Harry Miller.
Miller, born in 1875 in Menomonie, first began working in the Knapp, Stout & Co. machine shop at the age of 15. As the story goes, Miller was bothered by the steep hill he had to climb each evening after a hard day’s work at the machine shop. Miller decided to redesign his bicycle, placing a gas-powered motor where the pedals were otherwise located. Described as a mechanical genius, he is also known as the “King of the Racecar Builders.”
