SPRING VALLEY, WI – As the December 25, 2025, edition (the final issue of the Sun–Argus) draws near we pause with gratitude to look back on more than a century of shared stories, small-town triumphs, and everyday life in Spring Valley, Elmwood, and the surrounding communities. Thanks for the memories!

The roots of our paper go deep in Pierce County. The Spring Valley Sun first began publishing on this date, December 4, 1892, chronicling early settlers, lumber-era life, and the growth of a tight-knit rural village. Meanwhile, in Elmwood, the Elmwood Argus rose to serve its community, with historical records tracing its publication back to 1921.
