Merrillan
Liner notes
A quiet country folk song about the small village of Merrillan, Wisconsin, known as the Christmas Tree Village. The lyrics paint a picture of life along South Main Street and the peaceful sounds of the waterfalls at Oakwood and Trow lakes. It captures the simple, enduring spirit of a community that has stood since the days of L.G. Merrill.
