FOR US, THIS WAS A TRIP OF DISCOVERY; AS, USUALLY, WE KNOW
something about where we are headed and what we can expect to experience
there. That was not the case in this most unique area of Wisconsin’s Walworth
County. To begin with, we learned that the City is Lake Geneva, and the lake is Geneva
Lake, both of which were named for the original in Switzerland.

The boathouses and docks
along Lake Geneva are taken
up, and the numerous pristine
vintage private boats are
stored each year before
the lake freezes.
