History of the Whitewater Normal School Grounds Tour

This tour focuses on the buildings and grounds of College Hill, the glacial drumlin that sits in the heart of the Whitewater campus and the original grounds of Whitewater Normal School. You will hear stories and see photos of the campus through the lens of its original building, Old Main, and some of our earliest faculty, staff, and alumni. Tours will include visits to the Memory Garden, Salisbury and Chopp Historic Arboreta, and a peek inside the Log Cabin and Little Red Schoolhouse. We’ll allow time for participants to share their own stories of their connection to UW-Whitewater’s past.

All tours are free with registration and open to the public. These are walking tours at a slow pace throughout the course of the time allotted, unless otherwise noted in the descriptions. All tours are held rain or shine, unless severe weather watches or warnings are issued the day of the event. Tour participant numbers are limited to make sure everyone has an interactive experience. Walk-up registrations are not accepted and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
