About Appleton

Sitting on bluffs high above the Fox River, Appleton has long been considered the cultural heart and soul of the Fox River Valley, in large part due to the presence of Lawrence University, a liberal arts college with strong music and performing arts programs. The city itself has spawned a few performers and artists over the years, from writer Edna Ferber to actor Willem Dafoe and master illusionist and "debunker of fake mediums and spiritualists" Harry Houdini. College Avenue - or "The Ave," as locals call it - is the city's social, economic, and cultural centerpiece, featuring an eclectic cross-section of bars, pubs, restaurants, and coffee shops, as well as specialty shops and the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, which opened in early 2003. Meanwhile, along the Highway 41 corridor are the Fox River Mall, strip malls, Regal Cinemas College Avenue 16, and dozens of popular chain restaurants, all of which give Appleton an impressive mix of old and new, of locally-owned and franchised. For outdoor enthusiasts, the area around Appleton offers the chance to enjoy nature, whether taking in views from High Cliff State Park, fishing for sturgeon on Lake Winnebago, or boating on the river itself. Indeed, Appletonians take pride in the big city opportunities available in their small town, and well they should - as Edna Ferber once wrote, "Big doesn't necessarily mean better. Sunflowers aren't better than violets."

Did you know?

Joseph McCarthy, the infamous anti-Communist crusader of the 1940s and '50s, was born on a farm in Appleton in 1908. His ambitious political career included terms as a Wisconsin circuit court judge and state senator, but he didn't begin to make ripples across the American landscape until February 1950. At that point, he delivered a speech declaring that he had a list of 250 state department employees who were members of the American Communist Party. The tumultuous years that ensued saw McCarthy attack writers, screen-actors, and members of the Democratic Party for either having communist ties or being "soft on communism." By 1953, even McCarthy's staunchest allies could no longer support his crusade and, in December of the next year, the US Senate voted 67-22 to condemn his actions. Disgraced, the once-popular senator from Appleton quickly faded from public view and died in Bethesda Naval Hospital on 2nd May 1957.
