Green Lake County: A Brief History
From the early stagecoach days to traveling by plane or the family car, Green Lake County has been a prominent vacation destination for over 150 years.
Glacial stylings have given Green Lake County’s Green Lake its ‘jade-like color’ as well as a diverse topography. Beaches, ridges, swamps, and cliffs give Green Lake County a unique feel.
Green Lake County began as a territory in 1836 as Marquette County. A bit of a spat ensued started by a faction that felt that the county seat should be in Princeton, Wisconsin instead of Dartford. Early one morning folks raided the county seat building in Dartford, taking the records with them and placing them in Princeton.
The Supreme Court stepped in and ordered the county records to be moved back to the rightful county seat in Dartford.
Green Lake County is home to a large variety of agricultural pursuits, industry, and beautiful lake life.
Lifestyles Favorite Places
Come and spend the day hiking, biking, swimming, and boating at the American Baptist Assembly. There are so many things to do and see in this beautiful retreat area. Camping, cabin rentals, or renting a room at the hotel or conference center are excellent options for a short or long stay!
Grab your clubs and spend a day at Lawsonia or Tuscumbia. Either course offers breathtaking views and a challenging round of golf.
