Wausau, a city of about 40,000 people on the Wisconsin River, is the seat of Marathon County and the hub of north-central Wisconsin. Granite Peak ski area on nearby Rib Mountain draws skiers each winter, and the surrounding county grows most of the ginseng produced in the United States.
Aspirus Wausau Hospital and manufacturers in the metro are major employers, and the Grand Theater and Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum anchor a lively downtown along the river. I-39/US-51 and WI-29 meet on the city's west side, so billboards reach regional shoppers, healthcare and plant workers and travelers headed to the Northwoods.
