Fennimore
The wooded ridges and farmland valleys surrounding
Fennimore are a sportsman’s dream. Springs band together to
form trout streams such as the nationally famous Big Green River,
the Little Green River, the Blue River and Crooked Creek, as well
as the pioneering catch and release trout fishing sections of Castle
Rock Creek.
Fennimore is also home to two charming museums, The
Fennimore Doll and Toy Museum & Gift Shoppe and the Fennimore
Historical Railroad Museum; these cultural attractions offer
something for everyone. After shopping, you can eat at one of
the unique eating places. Fennimore’s 45 acre nature park offers
visitors a glimpse of native trees and flowers, with a wide variety
of birds available for birdlovers to view. Three miles of hiking and
cross-country ski trails entwine the park and the park also has RV
parking.
Hazel Green
Establish in 1824, Hazel Green is Wisconsin’s “Point of
Beginning” – the place where the land survey began in 1831. Just
outside of town lies the Point of Beginning Historical Marker.
Many of Hazel Green’s historic buildings remain, including the
Wisconsin House (1846) and the Opera House/Town Hall (1898).
Lancaster
Lancaster is situated in an area known for its rolling hills and
picturesque valleys. Lancaster is home to the Grant County Fair
held in August. Check the website: grantcountyfairwi.org. The
county fairgrounds also hosts a number of community activities
such as the high school rodeo, musical performances, arts and
craft festivals and numerous agricultural events. Grant County hosts stock
car races every weekend in the summer at the county fairgrounds. A stroll
around the courthouse square, located in downtown Lancaster, can carry
the visitor to an earlier time in our history. Inside the courthouse building,
the rotunda and murals are striking examples of public building architecture.
The grounds of the courthouse contain statues and monuments attesting to
the rich history of the area.
