Review:
Only 20 miles from Milwaukee, Cedarburg has easy access to all the big city has to offer while preserving its charming rural character. Scenic and beautiful, the town stretches along the banks of Cedar Creek. It is known for its great school system, rich cultural scene, famous annual festivals, and abundant green spaces along nearby Lake Michigan. Cedarburg became an attractive tourist destination in the mid 1800s for its mineral spring waters. Its historic downtown has a number of well-preserved limestone buildings and churches made by German immigrants from the native stone. The best place to learn about the town’s history is the History Museum, which is also the Visitors’ Center and General Store. Cedarburg Art Museum and the Wisconsin Museum of Quits and Fiber Arts show what the local artists are doing.
