Local Attraction

Cedarburg, Wisconsin, located twenty minutes north of Milwaukee, is an historic town dating from the 1840s. Originally settled along the banks of Cedar Creek which provided natural power for the town's five mills, the town soon grew to a thriving community. Today, the evidence of Cedarburg's early history surrounds visitors as many of the town's original limestone and cream city brick buildings line Washington Avenue, housing restaurants, antique shops and specialty stores.

Cedarburg is the perfect place for a weekend getaway, offering great antique shopping, places of historic interest, natural beauty and a whole year's worth of festivals and special events. The Washington House Inn is conveniently centered in the heart of it all!
