Fort Atkinson

by Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce

Overview

Fort Atkinson in Jefferson County is rich with Native American history. Over time, it served as a strategic location for agriculture, trade, business, tourism, and military strategy, which all combine to tell a fascinating story about early life in Wisconsin. Comparing the town's past to its present is a testament to its founders and their vision, strength, accomplishments, commitment, and sense of community, which are still realized today. The Fort Atkinson Historical Society and the 2010-2011 Project LEAD Team partnered to create this collection.
