Sauk County Emergency Management evacuated about 10 Rock Springs residents early Thursday morning as the Baraboo River's water level continued to rise from the rain dumped onto central Wisconsin earlier this week.
While evacuations in Rock Springs are complete, according to Sauk County Emergency Management director Jeff Jelinek, county officials are turning their eyes to the next village in which water will pass: North Freedom.
Firefighters are sandbagging homes in the small town of less than 1,000 people west of Baraboo. Some residents of those homes have already been evacuated, Jelinek said Thursday morning.
North Freedom's Mid-Continent Railway Museum shut down Thursday to prepare for the possible flooding, according to the museum's Facebook page. The building sits next to the Baraboo River.
