The Old Military Road was a road built by the U.S. Army in 1835–36, connecting Fort Howard (Green Bay) Wisconsin with Fort Crawford (Prairie du Chien) via Fond du Lac, Fort Winnebago (Portage), and Dodgeville. This first military road was a beginning of government planning for overland travel, which eventually led Wisconsin, first as a territory and later as a state, and its localities to finance its own system of roadways for various purposes.The Western Upland of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Online, Retrieved July 24, 2007.
