History

Fox Lake Historical Society All non-written history is on display at the Fox Lake historical society in the many buildings they operate for the community. The Society is responsible for the preservation of the Fox Lake Depot building, which houses the main society displays, as well as the Car Shed housing a 1940’s era Fairbanks gas engine powered track car, the summer kitchen, working blacksmith shop, and Sinclair Gas Station building on the “Depot Grounds”. It also operates the “Community Congregational Museum” up the street from the “Depot Grounds”, which is one of the first churches in town being built in 1855, and was the longest running continuous church in the state when it held its final service in October of 2012.

Harriett R. O’Connell Historical Room

Take a step back in time

Housed are items related to the theme of each building as well as Farming and local business artifacts, Native American arrowheads, tools, and weapons, military uniforms and equipment, an extraordinary Civil War Artifact Collection, a Bunny Berrigan - famous Jazz musician collection, and photographs of the people, places, buildings, and businesses that made Fox Lake what it is today. The Depot Museum is open the first Sunday of every month from June to October, 1 - 4 p.m., as well as by appointment (Call 920 296-0254). The Church is open for special events or by appointment only. Among those special events are the Second Saturday programs held during the winter months.

Preserving this rich history in the written word and photograph is the O’Connell Historical Room in the basement of the Public Library. The room has been cited by members of the Wisconsin State Historical Society as “the largest collection of small town history in the state”. The collection consists of the very first land office registration book for the region to the last issue of the “Representative” newspaper and all other important printed word in between.

Thanks to an army of volunteers and donors, this information is being cataloged, cared for, and preserved for future generations.

Access to the information may be gained by calling the library at 920 928-3223 and setting up an appointment to review the records during normal library hours.

6 Fox Lake 2024 Visitor/Community Guide

Fox Lake’s settlement history dates back to approximately 10,000 years before the white man came here. It was a fertile place and the Native Americans favored the lake for good hunting, fertile cropland, easy living, and as a gathering spot. With Jacob P Brower came the era of recorded history in Fox Lake, and by all accounts it was a peaceful transition. The name of the city change three times in the early years: Frankfurt in 1839, Waushara in 1840, and finally Fox Lake in 1856.

In 1860 at the beginning of the Civil War the community had a population of 2,643, with nearly 2000 of them being residents of the Village proper. The community contributed greatly to the fight for the Union, sending three full companies to famous duty, including the Iron Brigade and the Eagle Regiment, as well as 20% of Berdan’s Sharpshooters, and numerous individual regimental volunteers. Fox Lake men were present at most eastern theater battles from Bull Run to Appomattox.

Riverside Cemetery is the final resting place of war veterans from the war of 1812 through current conflicts and all in between as well as the rejected lover of Florence Nightingale. Fox Lake has the oldest wood framed building in Dodge County, once had a marine US mail route, was along the Military Road, and hosted the first Wisconsin school for women, the Wisconsin Female Academy, later known as Downer College.

Recreation Year round recreation is abundant in Fox Lake The year round recreation is never ending in the greater Fox Lake area. Snowmobile trails, cross-country skiing, hiking, hunting, just to name a few. Golf at our 18-hole golf course, shop the downtown or swim at our sparkling aquatic center.

It doesn’t matter what you do for fun, there are many ways to enjoy yourself in Fox Lake. The lakes offer limitless recreational opportunities, such as fishing, kayaking, boating, skiing, tubing and outdoor lakeside dining. Fox Lake continues to be a tourist destination year after year. Come join us!

Fishing Fox Lake is continuing to earn its reputation as one of the top 10 fishing lakes in the state of Wisconsin. Abundant fish include perch, crappies, blue gills, muskie, northern, walleye and bass. Fishing is a year-round sport in Fox Lake, whether it happens from boats, docks, or public piers at the Town of Fox Lake Park/Boat Launch on Blackhawk Trail or the City of Fox Lake Clausen-Riverside Park/Boat Launch. Winter ice doesn’t stop us either. Ice fishing is alive and well in Fox Lake! You may pick up a map of Fox Lake, courtesy of the Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce, at area resorts and businesses.

Kayaking

Fox Lake has an ADA kayak launch which is located at the Town Park, on Blackhawk Trail toward the northwest corner of the lake. The launch is free to use and all kayakers are invited to use it. The launch will allow paddlers of all abilities to enjoy the 2,700+ lake acres.

Friends of the Lake Outing The Fox Lake Preservation Organization invites special needs adults and chaperones to be their guests at Town Park, Blackhawk Trail, for pontoon boat tours on Fox Lake. Snacks and beverages are provided. After several hours of touring the lake, the guests return to shore for a cook-out lunch. Held for 29 years, traditionally on the third Saturday in June, the Friends of the Lake Outing has become the popular social event for our friends from the ARC of Dodge County. It takes many volunteers, pontoon boat captains and “first mates”, cooks, servers and dockside attendants to make the outing a memorable experience for the guests. For further information please call Bob Bergmann at (920)928-3486 or (414)416-9693.

Fish Stocking on Fox Lake

To promote the recreational use of Fox Lake, the Fox Lake Preservation Organization (FLPO) in conjunction with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) continue to commit itself to an extensive yearly fish stocking program. On October 10th at 10:30am, the FLPO worked with 5th and 6th grade students from SAGES to release 1,500 - 7 inch walleye, 3,750 - 5 inch perch, 4,000 - 5 inch black crappies, and 192 - 13 inch muskies donated by the Winnebagoland Musky Club, into Fox Lake at Town Park on Blackhawk Trail. The success of the annual fish stocking program is made possible by fundraising events, donations, and FLPO membership dues. The generous financial support and the time and effort of volunteers assure that Fox Lake remains a top-rated fishing lake.

Walking Trail In the summer of 2003 the City of Fox Lake Beautification Committee made a dream become a reality by turning the old railroad loop into a walking trail from the Depot to Fox Lake Junction. The loop is approximately one mile long using the route through Fox Lake that the railroad company created to bring the railroad line to town. It was used until the 1960s by Fox Lake.

Fireman’s Park Disc Golf Course is a 9 hole course, set in a multi-use park that plays around a swimming pool and baseball diamonds.

There are discatcher baskets on all holes. It offers a mix of shots with some longer holes and plenty of out-of-bounds with fences. The course is mostly flat and lightly wooded. Tee pads are varied, with some on concrete, some on roads.

There are two tees per hole (white/ blue) that are signified by blocks in the ground. Even the natural areas are level and easy to throw from. There are nice differences in distance, especially between tees.

The alternate pin placements really change the distances. It is located at 248 E. State St., Fox Lake.

By 2006, a prairie garden, other gardens, and several trees were planted next to the walking trail. Signage and two gated arbors on the Trenton Street entrance were also installed.

Walkers can enter the trail at any point; however, the Depot Railroad Museum on Cordelia Street is considered the beginning of the trail.

Any season—winter, spring, summer and fall—just look for signage and enjoy a hike on the Fox Lake Loop Walking Trail.

Hunting Each fall, deer hunters gather in and around Fox Lake in Dodge County to take home that special trophy. Many public hunting areas are available. For more information, contact the Horicon DNR at (920) 387-7860 or Wildlife Intake Line at (608)267-0866.
