it's greener here.

The heart of Middleton beats green. Surrounded by

lively shopping districts and residential neighborhoods,

you’ll find Middleton’s own natural gem. The 550-acre

Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a peaceful oasis amid

the bustle of a thriving community. The conservancy

protects the area’s most important freshwater springs,

which feed Lake Mendota. The woodlands, wetlands

and prairies of the conservancy are home to hundreds

of species of plants and animals, some endangered. The

conservancy symbolizes Middleton’s commitment to

the environment. This commitment can also be seen

through Middleton’s enlightened building practices,

environmentally sound city policies, responsible land

use and strong recycling program.

bolder. greener. HEALTHIER. Life really is better in Middleton. But don’t take our word for it—

experience it for yourself.

it's HEALTHIER here.

Staying healthy is easier in Middleton. An award-

winning, 15-mile community trail system runs

throughout this city of tree-lined streets and natural

areas. The city’s parks offer everything from a Splash

Park to a skate park to a brand new bike park. Nearly

every sporting endeavor has its own venue in

Middleton. Soccer, hockey, baseball, basketball, ice

skating and bowling all can be enjoyed in local facilities,

both indoor and outdoor. The Pleasant View Golf

Course challenges golfers during the spring, summer

and fall. In the winter, the course becomes one of the

region’s finest cross-country ski trails. No matter the

season, for the visitor and resident alike, this abundance

of recreational options makes it easy to stay in shape

and be healthy.


Middleton’s award-winning trail system encompasses 15 miles of pathways, including a five-mile continuous trail connecting the far northeast side of Middleton with the far northwest side. The trails wind through Middleton, linking neighborhoods, parks and nature areas. You can walk or bike your way from the bright and bustling Greenway Station to charming downtown Middleton and then to a quiet forest glade.

The Pheasant Branch Conservancy is one of the highlights of the trail system. The conservancy’s nature trails form a loop through the forests, fields and wetlands. Common wildlife sightings include great blue herons, a variety of frog species, white-tailed deer, sandhill cranes, several species of duck, Canada geese, hawks, owls and dozens of different species of songbirds. Wildlife observation areas can be found along the conservancy’s trails.

Middleton is an ideal destination for road bicyclists seeking to explore the world-renowned country roads of western Dane County and south-central Wisconsin.

The roads that run north and west from Middleton lead to some of the most popular bicycling routes in the Midwest. Pheasant Branch Road, Airport Road and the paved trail along Highway 12 are the most popular bicycle “escape routes.”

After the snow arrives, trails throughout Middleton are professionally groomed for joggers, walkers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers. During the winter, the Pleasant View Golf Course offers cross-country ski trail loops ranging from 0.5 to 2.3 miles. It is one of thearea’s most popular cross-country skiing spots and is noted for its outstanding grooming.

You’ll find a number of other trail opportunities within a short drive of Middleton. Governor Nelson State Park is located just minutes from downtown Middleton on the shores of Lake Mendota. The park offers 8 miles of hiking trails through oak forests and restored prairies, and cross-country skiing is available in the winter. Hit the trails in Middleton and find out why it's greener here.

Located in south-central Wisconsin, just 10 minutes from downtown Madison, Middleton is home to flexible meeting venues in a range of sizes. Venue options include the third-largest meeting venue in the Madison area.

Five Reasons Why Your Next Meeting Should Be In Middleton1. Personal touch. If you’re planning a mid-sized

meeting, chances are you’re a small fish in any big-city convention pond. In Middleton, your meeting becomes priority from day one.

2. Comfortable pace. Middleton has a peaceful, comfortable atmosphere, giving meeting attendees a chance to decompress at the end of a busy day.

3. Small town with big style. Some of Middleton’s stylish highlights include designer boutique outlets, restaurants helmed by award-winning chefs and cafes that source their ingredients locally.

4. Fewer distractions. While smaller communities such as Middleton aren’t without their own lively nightlife, meeting planners who go outside the top-tier meeting locations can look forward to productive meetings with fewer headaches and distractions.

5. Lower costs. Smaller locales such as Middleton can’t be beat on meeting costs. Plus, the Middleton Tourism Commission provides conference/event promotional grants to help qualifying groups and associations enhance their meetings.

Need more reasons to meet in Middleton? Contact the Middleton Tourism Commission at 1-800-688-5694 or go to meetinmiddleton.com. Choose Middleton for your next meeting— it's sharper here.

With its rolling landscape and ample waterways, the

Middleton area was home to Native American tribes

such as the effigy-building Algonquins and later, the

Ho-Chunk. A fur-trading post was established in

Middleton in 1832 at what is now Mendota County

Park. In 1836, W. B. Slaughter platted the area, calling

it “City of Four Lakes,” intending this newly established

locale to become the territorial capital.

In 1848, the area’s postmaster, Henry Barnes, named

the area “Middleton,” after a community in his home

state of Vermont. The first railroad depot was built in

1856 with a sign that said “Middleton Station.” Wheat

was king at the time, and the town featured large grain

elevators. The first settlers in the area were English,

followed by Germans. For a time, the local newspaper

published a German-language supplement. When the

village incorporated in 1905, they shortened the name to

“Middleton.”

In 1963, Middleton became a city. Middleton’s historic

downtown was renovated in the 1980s. Today, the

downtown is a stunning mix of historic buildings and

complementary modern structures. The most recent

expansions include the additions of North Lake and

Middleton Hills, which features Frank Lloyd Wright-

inspired architecture.

One of the oldest structures in Middleton is the Stamm

House, which dates back to 1847. It was Middleton’s

first official inn and is thought to have been a station

on the Underground Railroad. The Blacksmith Shop,

which dates to the 1850s, would have served many of the

travelers who came to the Stamm House.

The building that today houses the Club Tavern was

built between 1860 and 1880 and served as the boarding

house and stables for the Stamm House. The Club

Tavern opened in 1921 and, interestingly, remained open

throughout prohibition.

Important gathering places in Middleton

included an Opera House, which once

stood at the center of Parmenter Street.

Built in 1855, the building included

a hotel, saloon and second-floor

opera house which hosted medicine

shows, masquerades, holiday dances,

political rallies and graduations. It was

destroyed in a fire in 1900. Nearby was

the American House Hotel, which

was built around 1870. It is also gone.

The nearby General Store, built in

1856, was known as “The Friendly

Store,” perhaps in part because of the

tavern located in the basement. What

is today a Duplex was once the Union

Church, built in 1870 at a cost of

$1,800 to serve German Methodists

and Baptists. It later became an

American Legion meeting hall. Today’s

popular restaurant Villa Dolce was

once the Old Town Inn, which was the

site of Middleton’s first post office. And

the Pheasant Branch School, built in

1896 at a cost of $828, was acquired by

the Veterans of Foreign Wars in 1954.

Significant homes include Wolf

House, which was built in 1868 and

saved from the 1900 fire by putting

carpets on the roof and soaking them

with water using a bucket brigade.

The home is now privately owned.

Whittlesey House, built between

1853 and 1855, was home to T.T.

Whittlesey, a member of Congress,

probate judge and influential citizen

(University Avenue was once named

Whittlesey Street). Palmer House was

the area’s first home, which was built in

1847. The structure you see today was

built in 1858.
