Research papers, 1906-2008 (bulk 2000-2002), of Thomas H. Johnson and Fred and Germaine Pidgeon, regarding the land use of Powers Bluff, a Wood County, Wisconsin park and Native American burial site, consisting of news clippings, pamphlets, subject files, photographs, and videorecordings and tape recordings. The papers include descriptions of the cultural, botanical, and geographic history of the area and the controversy surrounding expanded recreational use of the park and the removal of trees around Native American burial grounds.
