TO FOND DU LAC

oin us in a celebration of our community – Fond du Lac. Whether you are here for a short time or have already made the decision to make this your home, you will be welcomed here just like family. For over 150 years, we have based our sense of community upon family values – we believe it has served us very well. The quality of services and amenities we offer today are the direct result of the hard work and dedicated effort of our citizens.

We like to boast about our educational system. It consistently gets top academic performance grade in both state and national ratings. We are equally proud of our public and private elementary and secondary systems (widely recognized as one of the best in the state and the Midwest), a post-secondary system that offers virtually everything one could imagine and a business community that leads the effort of drawing business and education together in a common agenda.

As our society strives to offer quality health care for citizens of all ages, we

turn with a great deal of confidence to the cutting edge and professional health care systems available to our community.

From every aspect and from every direction, you will find we are interested in a very healthy lifestyle.

Pride in our diversity has long been a part of our tradition – we have recently seen a strengthening in our cultural development. Evenings enjoying theater at our state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, afternoons viewing the work of guest artists at the Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts or an outdoor concert at Buttermilk Creek Park are just a few of the examples of the opportunities that await you. Add this to an already well-developed athletic system and you will never be at a loss for something enjoyable to see or do in the area.

Each and every citizen understands that in order for this to be a home it will take the best effort from all of us. Rest assured that we are not only up to the task, but anxious for you to join in. Enjoy your time in our little slice of the world, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back and making this your home too. w

Location

S

ituated at the foot of Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago (a location that gives the city its French name), Fond du Lac is about 60 miles from metropolitan Milwaukee, Madison (the state capital) and Green Bay – Titletown USA. This puts the city at the center of the state’s population concentration, an area with more than 3 million residents.

U.S. 41 (a four-lane limited access highway with a 70 mph speed limit) skirts Fond du Lac’s western edge, providing the city with a swift route to Milwaukee, the Fox Valley and to the nation’s interstate highway system. U.S. Highway 151 links Fond du Lac with Madison on the south, and the newly constructed 151 bypass allows visitors to skirt the city on their way east.

More than 30 interstate and intrastate trucking firms use this excellent highway network to serve the needs of Fond du Lac business and industry. In addition, the Canadian National Railway serves the area. w
