Welcome to EvansvilleOur Community

Voted One of the Top Ten Cities for Young Families by Nerdwallet in 2015 and with no won-der . With a population of about 5,000, Evansville cherishes its strong sense of community and small town charm . Residents gather often for concerts, festivals and celebrations . With its safe neighbor-hoods and quiet tree-lined streets, small town values permeate our way of life . Pride is taken in our exceptional schools, noted historic district, numerous parks and historic library .

Located only 23 miles south of Madison and 18 miles west of Janesville, Evansville offers small town living coupled with easy access to the world-class

universities, arts, and entertainment traditionally found only in metropolitan areas . But, you won’t have to leave the city limits to experience the arts - Evansville is home to nationally-recognized local artists and artisans featured in local galleries .

In addition to a robust arts scene, Evansville offers fantastic access to area parks, lakes, and trails - a potent combination resulting in a fantastic quality of life for Evansville residents!

Designated as a Tree City USA since 2002 and Bird City USA since 2011, Evansville is an outdoor enthusiasts’ dream . Situated midway between two of Rock County’s most picturesque parks - Gibbs Lake and Magnolia Bluff - and Proposed expansion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, the Evansville area offers incredible opportunities to live in, and explore, the great outdoors .

As a Tree City USA, the city plants trees each year along street terraces and in the public parks . In addition, the Evansville Community School District established the Grove Community Forest Trail to connect the school buildings with adja-cent natural areas and Wind Prairie Park . Besides enhancing our green space, the trail serves as an outdoor classroom for hands-on experience with conservation and natural resources .

Green LeaderEvansville is home to a number of initiatives

focused on energy conservation and renewable energy which have been built on a tradition of alternative energy .

As an example of this tradition, Baker Manufacturing, the community’s oldest operating business, built windmills from the late 1880s until the 1950s . Examples of vintage Baker windmills can be seen in the Eager Economy Building, at the Madison Street entrance to the Leonard-Leota Park and in the Wind Prairie Park .

Today Evansville is recognized as a green leader in Wisconsin and was recently selected as a pilot Wisconsin Energy Independent Community . As a symbolic link between Evansville past and present, a 100 kW wind turbine was erected next to the city’s wastewater treatment plant in 2010 . In addition, residents take pride in the school district’s state of the art high school that includes

Welcome to Evansville


geothermal heating/cooling . The annual spring Energy Fair is celebrating its 14th year in 2016, and is well-known regionally for highlighting green businesses and initiatives in the area .

Our RootsSettled in the 1840s, Evansville was originally

referred to as the “The Grove,” a historical refer-ence to a stand of trees just northwest of the city . Since then, the community of Evansville has careful-ly preserved and revitalized its historic residential and commercial buildings - making our community home to what the Wisconsin Historical Society has identified as “the finest collection of 1840s to 1915 architecture of any small town in Wisconsin .”

The reinstallation of the original brick-paved Main Street was a signature revitalization project that complimented the historic appearance to our downtown business district . In fact, many down-town business owners have undertaken major building restorations, with several projects receiv-ing historic preservation awards . Self-guided walk-ing tours are available to appreciate the architec-ture of historic buildings in and around the historic district .

In 2007, in recognition for the many contribu-tions of the farming community, Evansville was declared by the proclamation of the State of

Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Soybean Association as “The Evansville Soybean Capitol of Wisconsin .” A display with historical information regarding the proclamation and contributions of the agribusiness and farmers is located in the lower level of the Eager Building at 7 East Main Street .

Agriculture – Past & PresentThe agribusiness and area farmers have been

important to the Evansville community since 1839 . Evansville developed as a community as a result of the working relationship of the farmers and city resi-dents . In 1874, farmers and members of the Grange, also referred to as the Patrons of Husbandry, organized and formed the Evansville Mercantile Association . They opened a general store named The Grange . The Grange was an important part of the Evansville economy for over 100 years . The store was housed in a downtown business site, pres-

ently referred to as The Grange Mall . This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .

The predominant livestock is cows with several dairy farms in the vicinity; farms are often truly “family farms” remaining in the family over several generations . The biggest crops in the area are corn and soybeans . Native grasses and prairie plantings, vegetables and organic produce also have a sig-nificant presence among our local farms . Several prominent Evansville businesses cater to agricul-ture providing services such as grain storage, truck and rail shipping, fertilizer and agronomy, and large animal veterinarians .

City Parks & RecreationThe City of Evansville has over 58 acres of

park and recreational open space . Six neighbor-hood parks and the flagship Leonard Leota Park comprise space available to people in the greater Evansville area . The parks include:• Leonard Leota Park - North Madison Street• Westside Park - South Sixth Street• Countryside Park - North Water Street• Franklin Park - South Union Street• Seminary Park - South Fourth Street• Brzezinski Park - Corner of West Church and

Crawford Streets• Wind Prairie Park - South Second Street and

Old Highway 92For current parks related information, please

contact City Hall at 608-882-2266 .

Leonard Leota ParkIn the heart of Leonard Leota Park is Lake

Leota, a 40-acre, stream-fed body of water for canoeing, fishing and ice skating . The 20 acres within the park were dredged in the winter of 2008-2009 to restore the lake for recreational use and wildlife habitat .

The stone creek walls, picnic tables, bell tower, buildings and other stone structures were built dur-ing the Great Depression as Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration proj-ects . Rehabilitation of the creek walls is currently underway . The city is in the initial application stages to have the Leonard Leota Park listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a designed landscape .

Leonard Leota Park also offers the following amenities:• Baseball and softball diamonds• Basketball court• Tennis courts• Hiking areas• Picnic areas including five shelter houses• Playground areas in four locations• Skate park• Disc Golf coming soon

An interesting feature to the park is the wel-come center and local history museum in the former Baker Office Building . This historic building was no longer in use by Baker Manufacturing and moved to the park’s Madison Street entrance in 1999 . The Evansville Grove Society has restored the building to serve as office space for the society and as a local history museum . Recently, the build-ing became the home of Evansville Community Partnership (ECP), a non-profit organization dedi-cated to enhancing Evansville’s quality of life . In 2009, in honor of the building’s history, the Baker Manufacturing Company donated a vintage Baker Monitor windmill which was installed next to the building and can be viewed from Madison Street .

Outdoor Swimming PoolThe Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center, locat-

ed in Leonard Leota Park, is open to the public during the summer months . It is fully equipped with locker rooms, showers, lifeguards, a zero-depth entry area for young children and inexpe-rienced swimmers, a diving board and two slides . A special section for lap swimming is available and swimming lessons are also offered .

The pool’s 2012 season runs from June through August . Schedule and information for the pool can be obtained from City Hall at 608-882-2266 or the
