Waukesha Attractions
The city of Waukesha was once a thriving resort town. Colonel Richard Dunbar promoted the healing powers of the local spring water and from that visitors came to try them out. This lasted until 1916. Today the city is still going strong and has a well-preserved historical downtown core with interesting architecture.
