This annual event celebrates the historic Yellowstone Trail which was the first coast-to-coast automobile route across the Northern United States. Hudson was the first stop on the Trail when entering Wisconsin from the west, passing over the toll bridge, across the Old Dike Road and climbing up Walnut and Vine Streets to County Road UU and Hwy 12, leading east to the St. Croix County towns of Roberts, Hammond, Baldwin, Woodville and beyond.
