APPLETON

 Appleton is the largest city in an urban area known as the Fox Cities - 18 communities along the Fox River and Lake Winnebago. Appleton was hometown of Harry Houdini and is the location of the world's first home lighted by a central hydroelectric station, now the elegant Hearthstone Historic House Museum. The Building for Kids is one of the largest children's museums in the Midwest. In July and August the center's Butterfly House features hundreds of live Wisconsin butterflies. A bustling economy, low crime rate and bountiful recreational opportunities make Appleton a great place to live and visit.

FOND DU LAC

The city of Fond du Lac is situated on the southern shores of Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin's largest inland lake. The name Fond du Lac is a French term that translates loosely into "the foot of lake." The first light of dawn hits the water's surface and welcomes anglers to Lake Winnebago. A bike ride through past idyllic barns and over rolling hills ends with a story-filled lunch at an outdoor café. An evening stroll through downtown reveals art galleries, shops and classic Wisconsin supper clubs. With its convenient location at the base of Lake Winnebago and surrounded by Kettle Moraine State Forest and the Horicon Marsh, Fond Du Lac welcomes outdoor enthusiasts of all ages, any time of the year.
