Welcome to Evansville Our Community
Voted One of the Top Ten Cities for Young Families by Nerdwallet in 2015 and with no wonder. With a population of about 5,000, Evansville cherishes its strong sense of community and small town charm. Residents gather often for concerts, festivals and celebrations. With its safe neighborhoods and quiet tree-lined streets, small town values permeate our way of life. Pride is taken in our exceptional schools, noted historic district, numerous parks and historic library. Located only 23 miles south of Madison and 18 miles west of Janesville, Evansville offers small town living coupled with easy access to the world-class

universities, arts, and entertainment traditionally found only in metropolitan areas. But, you won’t have to leave the city limits to experience the arts - Evansville is home to nationally-recognized local artists and artisans featured in local galleries. In addition to a robust arts scene, Evansville offers fantastic access to area parks, lakes, and trails - a potent combination resulting in a fantastic quality of life for Evansville residents! Designated as a Tree City USA since 2002 and Bird City USA since 2011, Evansville is an outdoor enthusiasts’ dream. Situated midway between two of Rock County’s most picturesque parks - Gibbs Lake and Magnolia Bluff - and Proposed expansion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, the Evansville area offers incredible opportunities to live in, and explore, the great outdoors. As a Tree City USA, the city plants trees each year along street terraces and in the public parks. In addition, the Evansville Community School District established the Grove Community Forest Trail to connect the school buildings with adjacent natural areas and Wind Prairie Park. Besides enhancing our green space, the trail serves as an outdoor classroom for hands-on experience with conservation and natural resources.

Evansville is home to a number of initiatives focused on energy conservation and renewable energy which have been built on a tradition of alternative energy. As an example of this tradition, Baker Manufacturing, the community’s oldest operating business, built windmills from the late 1880s until the 1950s. Examples of vintage Baker windmills can be seen in the Eager Economy Building, at the Madison Street entrance to the Leonard-Leota Park and in the Wind Prairie Park. Photo courtesy of MEUW

Our Roots
Settled in the 1840s, Evansville was originally referred to as the “The Grove,” a historical reference to a stand of trees just northwest of the city. Since then, the community of Evansville has carefully preserved and revitalized its historic residential and commercial buildings - making our community home to what the Wisconsin Historical Society has identified as “the finest collection of 1840s to 1915 architecture of any small town in Wisconsin.” The reinstallation of the original brick-paved Main Street was a signature revitalization project that complimented the historic appearance to our downtown business district. In fact, many downtown business owners have undertaken major building restorations, with several projects receiving historic preservation awards. Self-guided walking tours are available to appreciate the architecture of historic buildings in and around the historic district. In 2007, in recognition for the many contributions of the farming community, Evansville was declared by the proclamation of the State of
Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Soybean Association as “The Evansville Soybean Capitol of Wisconsin.” A display with historical information regarding the proclamation and contributions of the agribusiness and farmers is located in the lower level of the Eager Building at 7 East Main Street.

ently referred to as The Grange Mall. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The predominant livestock is cows with several dairy farms in the vicinity; farms are often truly “family farms” remaining in the family over several generations. The biggest crops in the area are corn and soybeans. Native grasses and prairie plantings, vegetables and organic produce also have a significant presence among our local farms. Several prominent Evansville businesses cater to agriculture providing services such as grain storage, truck and rail shipping, fertilizer and agronomy, and large animal veterinarians.
Agriculture – Past & Present
The agribusiness and area farmers have been important to the Evansville community since 1839. Evansville developed as a community as a result of the working relationship of the farmers and city residents. In 1874, farmers and members of the Grange, also referred to as the Patrons of Husbandry, organized and formed the Evansville Mercantile Association. They opened a general store named The Grange. The Grange was an important part of the Evansville economy for over 100 years. The store was housed in a downtown business site, pres-

City Parks & Recreation The City of Evansville has over 58 acres of park and recreational open space. Six neighborhood parks and the flagship Leonard Leota Park comprise space available to people in the greater Evansville area. The parks include: • Leonard Leota Park - North Madison Street • Westside Park - South Sixth Street • Countryside Park - North Water Street • Franklin Park - South Union Street • Seminary Park - South Fourth Street • Brzezinski Park - Corner of West Church and Crawford Streets • Wind Prairie Park - South Second Street and Old Highway 92 For current parks related information, please contact City Hall at 608-882-2266.
Leonard Leota Park
In the heart of Leonard Leota Park is Lake Leota, a 40-acre, stream-fed body of water for canoeing, fishing and ice skating. The 20 acres within the park were dredged in the winter of 2008-2009 to restore the lake for recreational use and wildlife habitat.

The stone creek walls, picnic tables, bell tower, buildings and other stone structures were built during the Great Depression as Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration projects. Rehabilitation of the creek walls is currently underway. The city is in the initial application stages to have the Leonard Leota Park listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a designed landscape.

Leonard Leota Park also offers the following amenities: • Baseball and softball diamonds • Basketball court • Tennis courts • Hiking areas • Picnic areas including five shelter houses • Playground areas in four locations • Skate park • Disc Golf coming soon An interesting feature to the park is the welcome center and local history museum in the former Baker Office Building. This historic building was no longer in use by Baker Manufacturing and moved to the park’s Madison Street entrance in 1999. The Evansville Grove Society has restored the building to serve as office space for the society and as a local history museum. Recently, the building became the home of Evansville Community Partnership (ECP), a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing Evansville’s quality of life. In 2009, in honor of the building’s history, the Baker Manufacturing Company donated a vintage Baker Monitor windmill which was installed next to the building and can be viewed from Madison Street.
