DE PERE, Wis. (WFRV) – The Fox River Trail has now been a favorite recreation spot for the people of northeast Wisconsin for 25 years.
On Thursday, to celebrate 25 years of the trail, a group called ‘Friends of the Fox River Trail’ hosted a special public screening at the Mulva Cultural Center of a documentary called ‘From Rails to Trails.”

Event organizers say the documentary shares the history of the trail and highlights the trails impact on the local community.
It was like a dream come true. It was difficult getting it accomplished, lots of people, with lots of dedication. I remember that feeling for half a year afterwards, driving by and seeing people using the trail, that just warms my heart, and it still does today.
Nancy Nusbaum, Former De Pere Mayor
Those who ventured out to catch the documentary also got to ask questions to learn more from some of the key players who turned the idea of the Fox River Trail into a reality.
