Our City, Villages ... Nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan and less than an hour from both Chicago and Milwaukee, the City of Kenosha is right in the middle of opportunity. Residents enjoy the small town charm and a Lake Michigan lifestyle with easy access to big city assets and world-class amenities. Numerous unique and extraordinary cultural amenities include a variety of museums, a vibrant arts community, and an electric streetcar system with seven vintage streetcars. Explore the Kenosha Public Museum, with rotating displays of artwork and a permanent exhibit featuring the mammoths excavated in Kenosha County. The Civil War Museum takes visitors back in history to the social politics and economic influences that contributed to the Civil War. The Dinosaur Discovery Museum, located in the historic Civic Center district, is only a short ride away on the city’s electric streetcar. Dramatic life-size dinosaur replica casts make up the largest collection of meat-eating dinosaurs. The warmer months in Kenosha are filled with outdoor concerts, festivals, art fairs and historic re-enactments. The popular Kenosha HarborMarket downtown on Saturdays draws crowds seeking organic produce, arts, live entertainment and more. Book a charter fishing excursion and hook your own fresh catch of the day. Miles of beaches and lakefront parks offer opportunities for picnics, kite flying or just watching the waves. Keith G. Bosman Mayor

Year after year, you’re always welcome in the Village of Pleasant Prairie. Whether you’re looking for a daytrip destination or a new place to call home, you’ll find Pleasant Prairie to be a warm and welcoming community with many life-friendly amenities.

Each year, RecPlex and Prairie Springs Park become a hot spot for large triathlon events, 5K walk/runs, competitive swimming, hockey and figure skating events, and even indoor swimming, ice skating and fieldhouse play. During warmer weather, guests here enjoy wind surfing, boating, playing on our sandy beach, and a host of summer events that take place in the park.

A relaxing country drive reveals stunning horse farms and lovely equestrian estates. Riders from all over the region come to Bristol to participate in horse sports, or just “horse around.” The Village of Bristol ... the ideal place to live and visit ... naturally! Mike Farrell Village President Organized in 1842, THE TOWN OF WHEATLAND, located on the western end of Kenosha County is 24 square miles in size and includes the unincorporated communities of New Munster, Slades Corners, Wheatland, Powers Lake and Lily Lake and many smaller subdivisions. Our area’s two lakes, Lily Lake and Powers Lake, offer swimming, boating and ﬁshing opportunities. The scenic Fox River is a landmark in our community, traveling in a north-south direction through the eastern part of the town. Wheatland is also home to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources New Munster Wildlife Area, which encompasses 1,048 acres and permits seasonal hunting. Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta, owned by the Boy Scouts of America, and located on the western edge of the town, has enabled several generations of Boy Scouts to participate in camping and outdoor activities. The Seno Woodland Education Center, a 131-acre forestry learning center also located in the western part of the town, is dedicated to forestry education and research. Owned and managed by the WWOA Foundation, Inc., there are many nature programs offered. Our farming community is gradually evolving into a residential community.

From Charter Boats to Fishing Piers

KENOSHA IS A GREAT CATCH!

en, women and children alike can enjoy a fishing trip in the Kenosha Area. Regardless of it being your first time fishing or your millionth time casting a line, there is a great fishing experience waiting for you here. And there’s an option for every budget, too!

Lake Michigan Adventure If you’re looking for a Great Lakes adventure, charter boat fishing excursions on Lake Michigan are a great way to spend a half-day or full day. Morning trips include unforgettable views of the sunrise over the lake as a bonus. All fishing equipment is provided for you, and depending on how much you want to do (or not do), the captains will help you bait your lines, reel in your catch, and even clean and fillet your fish for you. If you have your own boat, Kenosha boasts two marinas and a wonderful public launch site on Simmons Island — complete with a fish cleaning station.

Calmer Waters If smaller waters are more your style, large mouth, small mouth, crappie, trout, muskie, northern, and many pan-fish can be found in Kenosha County’s inland lakes. Fishing piers and shore fishing are available at these locations, and small boats are allowed in most. Bundle up and try your luck at ice fishing in the winter months for a new adventure!

FOODIES ne of the things that makes Kenosha a unique foodie destination is the abundance of locally owned and operated restaurants — many of which have been in business for more than 50 years. Longevity aside, even the newer establishments are making a name for themselves by serving up delicious eats that can only be found in Kenosha.

makes your tummy happy. Franks Diner is as casual as it gets — they may even ask you to pour your own coffee, but it’s worth it when you get to enjoy a signature Garbage Plate breakfast. If you don’t know about the Garbage Plates, just look for them on an episode of Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.

Casual Dining

Looking for an upscale dining experience? Twisted Cuisine boasts a casual dining atmosphere with a fine dining menu — but always with a twist. Their playful combinations and seasonal menus offer ever-changing dining experiences. Authentic Wisconsin supper clubs are not scarce in our area — Hobnob Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge and Ray Radigan’s have been serving Kenosha for well more than 50 years. Hobnob offers beautiful views of Lake Michigan and retro circular booths. Radigan’s still offers relish trays, a supper club staple! If modern flare is more your style, Wine Knot Bar & Bistro and Sazzy B fit the bill, with extensive wine lists and contemporary atmospheres.

No need to dress up for a good meal. You’ll ﬁnd casual comfort food at its best here. The Famous Hot Beef Sandwiches at tg’s Restaurant and Pub are sure to please — but we suggest using a knife and fork for these soakies. John and Bobby Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and other sports legends have all enjoyed a bite at this pub. Comfort food is what you can expect from the homemade specials at The Coffee Pot — this diner rocks breakfast, but their lunch specials rival grandma’s cookin’. From meatloaf to chicken cordon bleu and everything in between, you’ll ﬁnd something that

Also held at the Sesquicentennial Bandshell is the Tuesday at the Shell concert series. The concerts take place on Tuesday evenings, July 7 through Aug. 25.
