FORT RESTORE AND RECREATE Enjoy the Glacial River Bike Trail on this scenic converted rail bed. The downtown portion connects to the city’s riverwalk with access to quaint shops and restaurants. Cycle over to 2 Rivers Bicycle and Outdoor where you can rent canoes and kayaks and navigate the Bark and Rock Rivers; both of which lead to Lake Koshkonong, where fishing and boating opportunities abound. Whether your passion is fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, or just appreciating nature, visit TPF Outdoors for your outdoor needs. Stop by the historic Koshkonong Mounds Country Club (see pg 61), where golfers can enjoy lake views and a challenging 18-hole course situated near native effigy mounds.

Visit the Farmer’s Market for home grown produce, baked goods and handmade crafts every Saturday, May through October (see pg 63). Then venture on to our “feasting” establishments.

TALENT AND TUNES Experience a top Wisconsin attraction and a taste of Broadway at The Fireside Dinner Theatre (see pg 1), where you’ll also get a mouth-watering meal and the opportunity to shop one-of-a-kind gift shops.

ATKINSON

From Broadway entertainment and historic lures to scenic recreation and inviting shops, Fort Atkinson offers the perfect mix of big city amenities and small-town charm.

Hawk War, or discover who was responsible for making Wisconsin known as “The Dairy State.” On Memorial Day weekend, experience what life was like in the 1800’s at the annual Fort Koshkonong Rendezvous, May 25-26, at Rock River Park. This fur trading re-enactment is complete with authentic costumes, tools, food and games. Go even further back in time with a walk through Indian Mounds Park, or get a bird’s-eye view of the city from the top of the historic water tower.

FAMILY FRIENDLY As a big little city, Fort Atkinson caters to families in every stage. The great outdoors beckon on lakes, rivers, trails and parks. Music, entertainment and shopping are convenient and affordable. Bring your family and explore. Bond with your kids over campfires and sing-alongs at Jellystone Park (see Inside Back Cover), recall the simple pleasure of a hot dog and ice cold soda at a Generals baseball game, take the slippery slide at the Family Aquatic Center, Pick your perfect pumpkin at Busy Barns Adventure Farm (see pg 64) cycle the Glacial River Bike Trail in autumn, and snow shoe, ice skate or cross-country ski at Haumerson’s Pond in winter. Visit our website for detailed information on things to do and places

to see, or feel free to give us a call and we’ll help arrange a fun-filled itinerary.

AN INVITATION Small towns aren’t always small places. A full calendar of events, diverse lodging options, clean and safe parks, and close collaboration between business, health care, education and city services have resulted in a modern day Mayberry for those of us who love where we live. Fort Atkinson is small-town living at its best, but don’t take our word for it. See for yourself. Whether you’re planning a weekend visit or considering relocation, we invite you to experience some of what makes Fort Atkinson such a treasure. Welcome. We hope you’ll stay for a while, or maybe longer. PHOTOS: LEFT PAGE: The Fireside Dinner Theatre, Fort Koshkonong Rendezvous, Winter Fun, Generals Baseball Game, Kayaking on the Rock River.

LAKE DISCOVER LAKE MILLS Lake Mills is blessed with an abundance of rich history, natural beauty and small-town charm. Enjoy a day on the lake or a scenic bike ride. Go birding or delve into history. Find your next antique treasure or a sip locally brewed beer. No matter your choice, there’s something for everyone! Located right off 1-94 at exit 259, visiting is incredibly convenient. Lake Mills is ideally situated between Madison and Milwaukee, just 25 miles east and 55 miles west respectfully. In fact, Highway 89 is our Main Street!

Just east of Lake Mills lies one of Wisconsin’s most important archaeological sites. Aztalan State Park showcases an ancient MiddleMississippian village that thrived between 1000 and 1300 A.D. The people who settled Aztalan built large, flat-topped pyramidal mounds and a stockage around their village. Just north of the State Park is the Aztalan Museum, operated by the Lake Mills-Aztalan Historical Society. The site features two pioneer churches, 19th century structures and displays containing historic items dating back to 1000 A.D.

HISTORY & LEGENDS

RECREATION

Lake Mills’ legendary status is rooted in ancient civilization lore, specifically mysterious Rock Lake. Numerous tales have been told of the stone structures reportedly found on the bottom of the lake. One claims that after suffering a dreadful drought, natives sought to appease the gods by building sacrificial pyramids. Answering their prayers, the gods covered the pyramids with water creating the beautiful lake the natives called Tyranena, meaning ‘Sparkling Waters.’ Hence, why the name Tyranena crops up all throughout Lake Mills. A large part of the legends come from Lake Mills proximity to Aztalan State Park (see pg 73).

Legends and lore aside, Rock Lake is a crystal clear, 1,371-acre recreational oasis beckoning outdoor enthusiasts to its cool waters and treelined shores. The lake is surrounded by parks, beaches and boat launches providing easy lake access and opportunities for fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, waterskiing and boating. Lake Mills also has easy access to the 47-mile Glacial Drumlin Trail praised by hikers and bicyclists alike. The trail follows the old Chicago and Northwest railway. A portion of the trail passes through one of Lake Mills’ ecological treasures and birding hot spot—the Zeloski Marsh

GLACIAL RIVER BIKE TRAIL The 31.5 mile Glacial River Bike Trail extends the full length (North to South) of Jefferson County. The trail extends seamlessly beyond Jefferson County into Rock and Dodge Counties offering users even more distance, scenery and outdoor recreational opportunity. The trail is connected by an on-road portion of the Wild Goose Trail in Dodge County. A portion of the Glacial River Trail from downtown Fort Atkinson to the Jefferson/Rock County line is set on a former rail bed that features a covered bridge. The majority provides an asphalt paved, separated grade trail. It is a mix of trail and on-road connections from Fort Atkinson. This spectacular attraction features an archway, bronze sculptures, rest areas and fountains - making it a relaxing and scenic adventure.

THE ROCK RIVER TRAIL The Rock River Trail runs along the Rock River from the headwaters in Fond du Lac County, to the Mississippi River at Rock Island in Illinois. Following on its 2013 designation as a National Water Trails System by the Secretary of the US Dept. of the Interior, the 320-mile Water Trail began an effort to connect the many communities 52

together through a joint initiative. There has been a great deal of cooperation between both states as it crosses 11 counties and 37 municipalities. The Rock River Water Trail begins at two trailheads in the Wisconsin headwaters: Waupun County Park on the South Branch of the river in Waupun and Rivers Edge Park on the East Branch in Theresa. It meanders down a gentle gradient to safely carry the water traveler and recreational enthusiast alike past picturesque rural and scenic landscapes, natural wilderness areas and vibrant urban riverfronts. Not only does it provide recreational activities, but it also gives the recreationalist access to various retail, restaurants and events along its river banks. There are a plethora of routes within the river corridor to provide access for all to the natural resources, recreational opportunities, scenic beauty and historic and cultural assets of the Rock River Valley. We invite you to paddle it, drive it, bike it, hike it, taste it (chocolate tour), appreciate it (art tour), ride it (horse trails) or fly it. There’s virtually something for everyone! For more information on the trail itself, it’s history and how to support their efforts, visit their website at rockrivertrail.com.

EMMA CARLIN TRAIL The trail is comprised of three loops, with difficult sections covering nearly 40 miles. The west end of the Green Loop has a particularly tough uphill grind. For a total challenge, take the formidable Connector Trail south to the John Muir Trail (Palmyra). Refer to the parks grid on pages 54-59 for park specific amenities and services.

Fort Atkinson Farmers Market

EXPERIENCE A DAY OF FUN ON THE FARM

Interact with the animals, play in the fields, sit on the farm equipment, enjoy some entertainment and learn how everything works. While most farms are open April through October, fall is probably the most popular time of year to visit. In addition to your standard fall fare, places like Jelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market in Helenville and Busy Barns Adventure Farm (see pg 64) in Fort Atkinson also have unique and exciting kids activities like a scavenger hunt and lawn jenga, a corn maze and a farm animal tour. Ever been to a fish farm? Visit Rushing Waters (see pg 63) in Palmyra to get a behind-the-scenes look at one of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading producers of Rainbow Trout complete with hands-on activities.

FARMERS MARKETS

Farmers markets provide a wide variety of organic and fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, nuts and other produce directly from their farms. Vendors are local entrepreneurs who set prices that allow them to reasonably cover their costs and typically price their products equal to or less than the grocery store. While their cost is competitive, their products have greater nutritional value and taste amazing! COMMUNITY

THE ARTS

Plein Air, Jefferson - June 26-27 (photo by Ellen Waldmer)

The earliest and most unique “art” forms in our area, one could argue, are the earthen Indian effigy mounds which continue to attract thousands of viewers each year at Aztalan State Park. Poet Lorine Niedecker (1903-1970) is another Jefferson County arts icon whose work is featured in two downtown Fort Atkinson murals. The Cambridge pottery boom in the 1980’s led our many studio potters to call Jefferson County home. Today, our close-knit arts community offers relaxing studio tours and exciting festivals annually that will “blow your mind”. Experience year-round live entertainment at The Fireside Dinner Theatre (one of the Midwest’s most popular entertainment destinations), the Council for the Performing Arts, and more (see our Performing Arts list to the right). Additionally, our unique shops offer items made by our local artists and host Pop-Up galleries. The Clay Collective Spring Pottery Tour kicks off May when local and guest potters throughout the county open their studios to the public for a free self-guided driving tour. Enjoy the Jefferson Plein Air Painting event in June where you can watch artists as they capture the beauty and character of the Jefferson Area on canvas. You could pick any day of the week to enjoy an outdoor community concert, including Tyranena Brewery’s Brew with a View nights in Lake Mills’ Korth Park - reminiscent of a traditional German biergarten, but with a modern twist. July features the Midwest Fire Fest, a demonstration-heavy celebration of all things created with fire, heat, and smoke including clay, metal arts, welding, forging, hot glass, food, and fire dancers in downtown Cambridge. In August mix history

Providing quality, affordable and accessible entertainment in and around Jefferson County. Serving Jefferson County Since 1977

DISCOVER THE HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY

Visit our historic neighborhoods or stop at a local museum and hear interesting stories about the founders and first settlers of our County. One of the top historical sites in the state is located in Jefferson County. Aztalan State Park contains ruins of an ancient Native American village established in 1050 AD. The archaeological site has been a National Historic Landmark since 1964 and is a must see along with the Aztalan Museum site, located next to the State Park, which includes a museum housed in the Baptist Church and 7 additional pioneer buildings. The Octagon House Museum in Watertown was one of the largest homes built prior to the Civil War in Wisconsin. Today, it is maintained as a public museum and the museum grounds are home to the first Kindergarten in America, a restored pioneer barn and a tour center. Discover area local history and an impressive collection of artifacts at the Hoard Historical Museum in Fort Atkinson. The Museum is also home the collection of Lorine Niedecker, an internationally recognized poet.
