Cedarburg

Washington Ave Historic District

Cedarburg is a suburban community about 20 miles (32 km) north of Milwaukee and just minutes west of the shores of Lake Michigan. The town is noted for its historical allure and prides itself on preserving more than 230 century-old stone and brick buildings. The community benefits from many parks as well as a general consensus to preserve green space, even in the downtown area. There is a strong sense of civic participation and community pride.

"Even before Cedarburg Incorporated in 1885, the community thrived with mills, shops, hotels, churches and residences, many of which remain in Cedarburg's commercial center as part of the Washington Avenue Historic District. The District is anchored on the south by St. Francis Borgia Catholic Church and on the north by the Woolen Mill, extending about five blocks and including over 100 properties. On January 17, 1986, the Washington Avenue Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places."

Cedarburg remains a tourist community, though some of its storefronts are empty. The main street is lined with historic buildings occupied by independent businesses which feature crafts from local artists and craftsman. Some popular businesses within the downtown area include family-owned Armbrusters Jeweler, Hoffmann's Meat Market, The Chocolate Factory Subs and Ice Cream Parlor, several small coffee houses (including the Java House and Starbucks), Amy's Candy Kitchen (and other candy shops), and many restaurants. The Rivoli, a historic single-screen theater is located in the center of the city. The Cedar Creek Winery, and the Woolen Mill in which it is located, are a popular stop in town. Both offer tours of the historic facilities; the Mill houses a variety of small shops in addition to the winery and Creme & Crepe Cafe. Cedarburg prides itself on its picturesque setting: well-maintained historic buildings, historic landmarks, and an abundance of churches.

Throughout the year there are a number of festivals held in town, which cater to the tourists as well as residents. Some of the principal festivals include Harvest Fest, Strawberry Fest, Winter Fest, and Crazy Days. One can expect the city to be filled with crowds of people on those weekends, as the main street is converted into festival grounds. Also, "Maxwell Street Day" is held four times during the summer months. It is a flea market held on the Ozaukee County Fairgrounds, just north of downtown.

History

Origin Of Cedar Creek

Mills On The Creek

"Dropping approximately eighty feet in two and a half miles, Cedar Creek's falling water power provided enough energy to drive Cedarburg's many mills for over one hundred years. The creek rises from Big and Little Cedar lakes near West Bend, flowing about fifteen miles (24 km) eastward and abruptly changing course southward in the Town of Cedarburg. Blocked by the dense limestone rock in the township, Cedar Creek turns toward the City of Cedarburg with full force."

Mills On The Creek

"Recognizing the energy potential of Cedar Creek's rapidly falling water, business speculators Frederick Hilgen and William Schroeder built a log and frame grist mill on the creek in 1844. Eleven years later, they replaced the wooden mill with the nearby stone Cedarburg Mill. Five stories high and massive in scale, Cedarburg Mill was built by Burchard Weber who constructed the building in large blocks of gray limestone. The mill could produce 120 barrels (19 m³) of flour a day, leading to four additional mills along the creek in the mid 19th century."

Historic Cedarburg

"The source of Cedarburg's vigor from its birth as a village in 1845 was the power producing creek that the Irish and German Immigrants found here. After building five dams and five mills, the life of the community flowed along the banks of the Cedar Creek. The historic heart of Cedarburg contains a significant group of nineteenth and early twentieth century buildings that embody the distinctive architectural styles and construction methods employed in the city from the 1840's to the 1920's. The diversity of the types of buildings in the downtown historic district reflects the fact that this area has served as the center of Cedarburg's social, commercial, industrial, educational and religious activities. Despite the diversity, strong relationships exist between the buildings because of the similarities in scale, style, materials and craftsmanship. Many are constructed of locally quarried limestone or cream colored brick. The most obvious bond between the buildings is their skillful masonry work, which gives Cedarburg its special character. While many of the early builders and masons remain anonymous, the high quality of the historic buildings serves as an enduring tribute to their skills."

Interurban Bridge

Interurban Bridge

"In 1907, the Milwaukee Northern Railway Company constructed this riveted-steel Thru Truss Bridge over Cedar Creek. Manufactured by Carnegie Steel and measuring 159 feet (48 m) long by 12 feet (3.7 m) wide by 20 feet (6.1 m) high, the bridge was constructed for the company's interurban train line between Milwaukee and Sheboygan. Powered by overhead electrical lines, the interurban carried passengers and freight in an out of Cedarburg. The railway depot and servicing area once stood a few blocks away."

Riding The Interurban

"Every hour, with precise regularity, the Milwaukee Northern Railway Interurban Train ran over this steel-truss bridge. The trip between Milwaukee and Cedarburg took about an hour and cost less than 30 cents. In 1922, the Milwaukee Railway Company was acquired by the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company. The interurban line operated until 1948. Today, the Interurban Bridge is a pedestrian walkway and portions of the old rail bed are used as a bike path."
