Waukesha is a welcoming city just west of Milwaukee, sitting along the Fox River. Long ago it was famous for its clean spring water and was nicknamed the Spring City.
You can stroll the historic downtown, walk the Riverwalk, visit the Waukesha County Museum, and enjoy festivals and music in the summer.
People once traveled from far away to drink Waukesha's famous spring water, and the city still remembers those bubbling springs.
A pretty walkway follows the Fox River past bridges, shops, and public art, making a nice spot for a family stroll.
