By 1787, French traders established a trading post along the banks of the Fond du Lac River. Nearly 50 years later, Fond du Lac would be well on its way to becoming settled, thanks to federal judge James Duane Doty who, along with his partners, established a land company to buy and sell land shares to folks out east eager to establish homes, farms and businesses in this promising new land.
0utlook 2014

The first settlers to establish permanent residency were Colwert and Edward Pier. By the end of the 1830s, many pioneers would join them in helping to establish Fond du Lac as a county.
Fond du Lac County
Nestled along the southern shoreline of Lake Winnebago, Fond du Lac County covers more than 725 square miles of land. By 1850, the county’s 21 townships were established. The county also has within its borders nine villages and two cities along with the northern half of the city of Waupun.
Fond du Lac Area
According to historical archives, by 1870, Fond du Lac was deemed the state’s second largest city and served as a major railroad hub. With 101,635 residents counted in the 2010 census, Fond du Lac is the 13th most populous county in the state.

Over the years, many have called Fond du Lac home — from the Winnebago Indians who hunted the meadows and woods for game to the early explorers and land speculators that mapped out the tracts of land that would become the city of Fond du Lac. The fabric of Fond du Lac County’s history becomes richer and more textured with the passage of time.
The county’s source of commerce has also changed with the passage of time. Industries that once churned out railroad cars, yeast, lumber and leather have now been replaced by state-of-the-art manufacturers, retail outlets, and modern dairy farms to name just a few.
While Indians claimed the area as their own for centuries before, the written history of the area began to unfold in the early 1600s as French voyageurs began exploring the area they would later name Fond du Lac, meaning “farthest end of the lake.�
More than 11 county parks have been preserved along with a public hunting ground that comprises more than 1,200 acres. Campgrounds, lakes, walking and biking trails also provide year-round recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.

Scott Street, takes children on an adventurous tour around the world, from Lake Winnebago to an Italian pizzeria and the African savannah. Visitors from toddlers to tweens can cast images in the Shadow Safari, explore the Great Toddler Reef, build a Great Wall of China, exchange money for world currencies, put on a show in the Big Apple Theater or produce a radio broadcast. With the museum’s relocation and expansion, visitors will enjoy even more play environments, including a Persian Palace, Antarctica Weather Station and
more. While the interior of the museum allows children to travel the world, more than 10,000 square feet of outdoor space was recently developed into the WinnePLAYgo area, a shanty town, Trike Trak, garden, and picnic area will encourage children to explore their natural environment, inspire creativity and develop healthy behaviors.
WinnePLAYgo The new Museum areas support local initiatives to combat childhood obesity. Through exhibits and programs, museums and gardens in all fifty states are taking action to provide fun opportunities for fitness and learning. Visits to museums provide repetitive and high-impact learning opportunities with the power to make a difference in children’s lives and their futures. For instance, families participating in the Museum’s weekly WinnePLAYgo garden club program learn the skills of gardening, while trying new plants and vegetables. Museum supporters even share the fruits and vegetables from their home gardens to embellish the program and provide healthy treats.

Five Steps To Choosing Quality Care 1. Start Early
No matter what type of care you are considering – finding the right child care option can take some time.
2. Make a Call
Begin your search by calling your local experts.
3. Visit and Ask Questions
Make sure you visit the child care options you are considering.
4. Stay Involved
Visiting and participating in events at your child’s provider sends a strong message. It tells your child and your child’s caregiver that you think what your child is doing and learning is important.
5. Make a Choice
Piano Lessons Teaching ages 3 and up. Lessons available at my private studio and many local child care centers.

Located on the southern shore of Lake Winnebago, Lakeside Park is known throughout the region as a scenic site for picnics, recreation and festivals. Lakeside Park is the jewel in the crown of the city’s many parks and one of the favorites in the extensively used network of parks countywide. Until it was fully developed, Lakeside Park was a lowland area dominated by cattails and other marshland plants. In 1835, officials purchased the marshy land at the foot of Lake Winnebago and the city of Fond du Lac grew around it. Development of Lakeside Park began in earnest in 1896.

Gravel roadways were built and John T. Boyle donated the park’s first pavilion. In 1900, the Lakeside Park bandstand was built as a gift to the community from William McDermott. The bandstand was used as an illustration in
1959 in the Saturday Evening Post and remains today as a beloved city landmark. The park is the site of the Lakeside Park Lighthouse, the acknowledged symbol of the Fond du Lac community. The lighthouse was donated in the early 1930s. The structure, which measures 44 feet from the ground to the observation deck and an additional 12 feet to the top of the flashing light, was opened to the public in July 1968. Lakeside Park attracts many families who enjoy the extensive playground equipment, train ride, petting zoo and other attractions. Three softball diamonds host games on weeknights and for weekend tournaments. The annual Walleye Weekend festival in June and the Fourth of July fireworks are among the many activities that make Lakeside Park a true destination.

Fond du Lac’s Community Theater has made the Little Theatre its home. Theater Manager Steve Wilson said that since 2001, a ticket stipend has been in place that requires $1 of every ticket sold to replenish a fund used exclusively for theater maintenance and upkeep. Both venues are available for rental.

Fond du Lac County is a political subdivision of the State of Wisconsin and is comprised of 21 towns, nine villages, and three cities.
25
0utlook 2014
The City of Fond du Lac operates with a councilmanager form of government. There is a sevenmember City Council with each member elected to a two-year term of office. A key feature of this form is the separation of power. The City Council is a policy-making body, while the city manager performs administrative duties required for operation of the city. As part of its work, the City Council establishes policy, enacts ordinances, adopts the annual budget and appoints a city manager to oversee the administration of the city. Prior to adopting policies, the City Council solicits the advice of the city manager, various advisory boards and city departments in addition to conducting its own study of the issues. The City Council also solicits input from citizens at its public meetings.
