Oconomowoc is in Waukesha County,a city of 15,712. The program “Around the Corner With John McGivern” paid them a visit in 2014 too.
The name is from the Potawatomi Indian language, original spelling is “Coo-no-mo-wauk” meaning “waterfall”. The city is located on Lac la Belle. We were here to celebrate Christmas and were at a house on the shore of this lake on the other side. The view from there, you could see an island in the lake with a house on it!
At the edge of town is The Inn at Pine Terrace. More on it from the Oconomowoc Area Historical Society in this video produced in 2013.
