Welcome

Town Fredonia is a thriving community sporting a fine school system, and the rural charm of yesteryear. Come visit and enjoy a relaxing day in Fredonia or one of our many interesting events.  Stony Hill School (see building above), is the "birthplace of National Flag Day". This is just north of Ozaukee County Pioneer Village, on Hwy. I, and is a great part of the tourist loop.

Waubeka is home to the National Flag Day Foundation Americanism Center (right photo above. The center’s 13,000 square foot building sits on fifteen acres of land. The center offers the Avenue of Flags, which displays all 27 star configurations of The American Flag, a commemorative outdoor courtyard and a full museum featuring military and local memorabilia. The museum includes a room devoted to Bernard J. Cigrand (left photo above), the Father of Flag Day. The museum is open on the third Sunday of each month from 1-4 p.m. or by appointment.

The Flag Day Foundation is a nonprofit organization which teaches Americanism. The Foundation hosts several events each year. Don’t miss the main event – the National Observance of Flag Day held the second Sunday in June. The observance includes a program at Cigrand Memorial in Waubeka, a 100 unit Parade, Family day with Music, refreshments and activities and Fireworks at the Americanism Center. The Foundation also holds a Valentine Dinner, Auction Event.

Enjoy Waubeka’s rich history anytime by walking, driving or biking the self guided Chief Waubeka Trail.
