West Bend & Washington County

 

With the rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine to the north and the Milwaukee metro area to the south, Washington County is a rich blend of industry and recreation. In West Bend, The Museum of Wisconsin Art displays the exquisite paintings of German/American master Carl Von Marr. To the east, the Riveredge Nature Center in Newburg preserves 350 acres of prairies, forests, ponds and marshes along the Milwaukee River. In the southern half of the county, the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford displays a rare collection of Kissel, Nash, and Pierce-Arrow automobiles. In the southeastern corner of the county, Germantown has preserved its "old world" heritage in the Dheinsville Historic Park.
