It’s time once again for #flashbackfriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week we begin a series of photos taken by our late member George Scharfenberg, who was always there with a camera taking photos of local businesses in the 1990s and early 2000s. Here he documents the Speedway gas station sometime in the early 2000s. It was located where the auto parts store is at the intersection of West Main Street and Elizabeth Street.
Speedway was a popular late 20th century chain of gas stations that also served as convenience stores, but many have closed or been renamed. Competition in the gas station/convenience store field has been heavy during the past 20 years as seen in Whitewater with the Casey’s and Kwik Trip chains.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.

Richard and Ruth have lived in Milton since 2019, Whitewater for 14 years prior and various cities all over the world before that. They were members of Faith Community Church in Fort Atkinson.

1 IF BY LAND—2 IF BY SEA (OR LAKE)! They arrived by bus and by boat and some by car. And they all had a great time. Saturday, July 29th the Whitewater Lions Club hosted the B O L D (Blind Outdoor Leisure Development) fishing and fun day on the water. The Lions greeted the VIPs (Visually Impaired Persons), their family members, chaperones, and guide dogs. After enjoying a great lunch of brats, burgers, salads and yummy homemade desserts, the guests were guided to the Whitewater Lakeshore where they met the members of the Lake Association who volunteered to take some of them to go fishing. Others had the option of cruising the lake or even waterskiing, assisted by members of the Southern Wakes United Waterskiing Team, The Boat House, and Whitewater Lake Boat Rentals.
A very tired group of the VIP’s, Lions, and fantastic volunteers returned to the clubhouse for some refreshments and awards for best fish, waterskiing, tubing, and having a great day in the sun.
