A Great Place to Raise a
Family
Beaver Dam is a small Midwestern city on the shores of Beaver Dam
Lake, in the heart of agrarian south central Wisconsin. The urban setting of the
city blends into the suburban neighborhoods in adjacent townships and then
seamlessly transitions to century old farms in outlying Dodge County. This city
is a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.
Quality of life has always been one of the chief themes of city
officials, civic leaders and the business community in Beaver Dam. This has
included stewardship of Beaver Dam Lake, one of the state’s largest lakes with
41 miles of shoreline. Over the past century the community has established
several parks on the lake and along the Beaver Dam River, in addition to more
than 10 municipal parks located throughout the city.
Neighborhood elementary schools and a centrally located middle
school and high school enable most students to walk to school, and provide easy
access for parents and families to participate in school activities and
programs. In addition, the community is served by excellent private Lutheran and
Catholic grade schools and Wayland Academy, the oldest co-educational college
preparatory high school in the nation.
Beaver Dam is home to the YMCA of Dodge County, a brand new
independent full-service hospital and is only 10 minutes away from the Dodge
County Airport. Recreational / cultural opportunities include the Beaver Dam
Family Center & Ice Arena, the Beaver Dam Area Community Theatre (BDACT) and the
Raceway at Powercom Park.
Manufacturing, service and retail business has grown with the
community. Manufacturing and service businesses account for a substantial amount
of local employment. Retail includes everything from mom and pop owned small
businesses, to big box, national retailers. The Beaver Dam Mall is the only
indoor mall in the county. Every necessity of life can be purchased or obtained
within the community.
Beaver Dam’s location along U.S. Highway 151 provides direct
access to Madison (45 minutes to the capitol from downtown Beaver Dam) and to
Fond du Lac (35 minutes, downtown to downtown). Beaver Dam is also only 90
minutes northwest of downtown Milwaukee, the largest city in the state, and only
one hour east of Wisconsin Dells, consistently one of the Midwest’s most popular
family recreational destinations.
Beaver Dam provides all the necessities of life and some of life’s
luxuries. Its proximity to the largest cities in Wisconsin provides easy access
to the most metropolitan attractions, an international airport and collegiate
and professional sporting events.
The friendly, welcoming, small-town atmosphere of Beaver Dam
endears itself to new residents, and makes it a comfortable place to live for
generations of families who call the community home.
