Gratiot
Liner notes
Write a folk song about Gratiot, Wisconsin, where the old Milwaukee Road junction once brought life to the rolling hills. Sing of the quiet streets where the Gratiot Depot stood, echoing with the ghosts of steam engines and coal dust. Let the melody carry the memory of a small Lafayette County town that watched the trains roll by, holding onto its history in the heart of the Midwest.
