Do you know of Trapp ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Trapp. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Trapp.<1>

Our sources for Trapp (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Trapp other than they indicate that Trapp would be found somewhere in Marathon County, Wisconsin.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1872 and closed  in 1898.
