Washington County: History and Heritage
Discover Wisconsin invites you to travel back in time, in Washington County. We’ll explore the historical landmarks and cultural sites that preserve stories and customs of the past. We’ll visit Richfield Historical Park, where visitors can experience the pioneering roots of Wisconsin’s early settlers. At Dheinsville Historic Park, north of Germantown, we’ll celebrate the German heritage of Washington County at Oktoberfest. In Hartford, the Schwartz Family Home, Westphal Mansion, and the grand Chandelier Ballroom showcase stunning craftsmanship and elegance. The Tower Heritage Center in West Bend offers a look into the county’s past with its 1889 Courthouse and 1886 Jailhouse, while The Bend Theater invites you to experience cultural history through the arts.
