In beautiful Downtown Waukesha, Main Street follows the Fox River and the Fox River Trail. The landmark Clock Tower overlooks Downtown Waukesha, which is filled with historic architecture. Stand where Main Street intersects with Broadway to appreciate the beauty of Downtown Waukesha: brick-paved streets, period lighting, sidewalk cafes, and brightly-painted storefronts. The neighborhood is walkable and bicycle-friendly, making it easy to enjoy the variety of boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, taprooms, and pubs that populate the historic buildings.
Cutler Park is located in the heart of downtown and is the site of concerts and events. It features a wooded green space, walking paths, a playground, and the Les Paul Performance Center. Carroll University, established in 1846 and the oldest university in Wisconsin, is located on the south side of Downtown Waukesha.
