Downsville is an unincorporated census-designated place in the town of Dunn, located within Dunn County, Wisconsin, United States,[2][3] where Highway 25 crosses the Red Cedar River.
In 1857 Captain Downs tried again and succeeded in building a dam which powered a sawmill.
He sold the mill to Knapp, Stout & Co., who expanded it and added planing and shingle mills which employed about 100 men by 1891.
By that year the town also had a steam feed mill and a stop on the Menomonie branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Railway.
