History

Since the railroads were never built and did not produce revenue, the city was unable to pay off the bonds. The city is the home of the first kindergarten in the United States, started by German immigrants; the building that housed this kindergarten is now located on the grounds of the Octagon House (Watertown, Wisconsin) House Museum in Watertown. After plank roads were no longer used, the route was replaced by highway (Wisconsin Highway 16) and a railroad. Growth of the city was substantially hampered when Watertown issued almost half a million dollars in bonds to support the building of two Rail transport to town to encourage further growth: the Chicago & Fond du Lac Company and the Milwaukee, Watertown & Madison Road. .
