Caroline Duffy’s Hometown
On the show, Caroline Duffy is from Peshtigo, Wisconsin. It’s mentioned she has a park dedicated to her in her hometown. Considering the size of the real life Peshtigo, that has about 3,500 citizens, this story isn’t too hard to believe.
Besides being the hometown of the fictional Caroline Duffy, Peshtigo is best known for the Peshtigo fire of 1871 in which more than 1,200 people perished. Those who perished were buried in a mass grave, and the Peshtigo Fire Museum features artifacts that survived. The fire coincidentally happened on the same day as the Great Chicago fire.
