The lighthouse on the shore of Lake Winnebago in Neenah, Wisconsin has stood for the last 50 years in a place where Indian Tribesman met for pow-wows 150 years ago at the mouth of the Fox River. Also near the lighthouse site was once an enormous elm tree called the Old Council Tree by the Menominee Indians. The tribesmen would hold councils under its sheltering arms prior to the 1830's. The tree was cut down in the 1880's by the Federal Corps of Engineers when the river channel was dredged and widened. Today, the Old Council Tree stands as the City's Logo.
