Historic
Delafield established in 1837 offers unique quaintness nestled
in the hills of the Kettle Moraine. Delafield, surrounding
Lake Nagawicka, is just 30 minutes west of Milwaukee adjacent
to I-94.
Our community offers
historic sights, antique and specialty shopping, award-winning
restaurants, lodging, and a variety of recreational activities
year round. Charming Delafield offers two stimulating shopping
districts: The Hwy 83 interchange boasts a collection of department
stores, a variety of specialty shops, an array of restaurants,
and friendly accommodations for the overnight visitor. Just
as friendly and inviting, the downtown hosts exceptional craftsmen,
antique treasures, mouth-watering eateries, and a delightful
array of unique shops.
The city is host
to community celebrations and festivals throughout the year.
Come join the fun at Delafield Days, Lake Country Women's
Club Art Fair, the Woodcarvers' Show, and a Halloween Celebration
at The Steeple in the fall. Share in the holiday spirit at
the annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. Visitors can
also visit Hawks Inn, St. John's Northwestern Military Academy
and Nashotah House. They still carry on their traditions and
offer scheduled tours throughout the year.
We also have many
recreational and sporting activities available to everyone.
Enjoy the bike and hiking trails surrounding the area. For
a more restful activity, relax and enjoy a leisurely round
of golf, fish on one of our area lakes, or unwind with the
family at one of our beautiful parks. Participate in a unique
family outing at the beautiful Olympic size Naga-Waukee Ice
Arena open all year for family fun.
