Fort Atkinson, WI
2009 DW Destination


Located just two hours from Chicago, one hour from Milwaukee and thirty minutes from Madison, Fort Atkinson has just about everything a visitor is looking for and it really does have a fort. Discover the connection Fort Atkinson has with Abraham Lincoln and learn why the National Dairy Shrine is located there. The revitalized Riverwalk area is a perfect setting to quietly walk along the Rock River, dine at one of the riverside restaurants such as The Velvet Lips or enjoy one of the many entertainment venues that host special events throughout the year. The charm of old Fort Atkinson can be found in the renovated downtown area with its unique shops offering different styles and gifts for everyone. You’ll see what we mean when you walk into I Love Funky’s, The Nest or Soap and Pepper. In Fort Atkinson, you can soar to great heights at the area’s skydiving school or imagine yourself in a Broadway theater when you spend an evening at the Fireside Dinner Theater. Enjoy an exquisite dinner and then move into the theater and prepare yourself to be entertained by a professionally produced stage show with many of the actors coming from the footlights of New York.
