Local Landmarks: We visit the beautifully revitalized downtown area, stroll along the scenic Riverwalk, and find tranquility at the Creighton Labyrinth. A Look at the Past: Step inside the fascinating 1886 Jailhouse, now a historic site, and see the stark contrast between the sheriff's residence and the old cell blocks. Long-Standing Businesses: Discover the stories behind enduring local businesses like Ray's Shoe Repair and learn about West Bend's history with manufacturing giants like the former West Bend Company and the present-day Regal Ware. Arts and Culture: Immerse yourself in the vibrant Wisconsin art scene at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) and explore the unique finds at a local costume shop with over 10,000 pieces!
