Neopit, WI

Set along Highway 47, Neopit is a small community on the Menominee Reservation surrounded by vast stretches of protected forest. The town has long been the working hub of the tribe's famous timber industry, centered around the Menominee Tribal Enterprises sawmill that has operated here since 1908. Forestry and mill work are deeply rooted in Neopit, shaping both the local economy and the town's quiet, hardworking character.
