My Community has a historically large Norwegian component. We look to maintain and expand this element as a matter of pride, as well as drawing visitors. Our downtown has the restored Stoughton Opera House for performing arts. The Stoughton Village Players has their theater here. There are also a variety of stores, galleries, restaurants, Victorian homes and other attractions. We are trying to revitalize, rebuild and restore the town. The Yahara river runs through the town, offering opportunities, such as developing a new white water canoeing stretch by removing an old spillway/dam.
My Community has a large Norwegian population. There is the Livsreise - Norwegian Heritage Center; Sons of Norway lodge; and the annual Syttende Mai parade. There is a vibrant quilting, weaving, woodcarving, rosemaling, Grieg Chorus and other communities. The Stoughton Norwegian Dancers feature High School dancers who perform locally and tour abroad. There are many Lutheran churches as well.
Restoring "blighted" areas of Stoughton is a priority. Keeping the Yahara an asset to the city is also a priority. Removing the spillway and building a White Water Park in its place would be. Managing growth is a focus as we receive spillover homebuyers looking to locate here to commute to Madison, WI
Stoughton has a mix of rural farming, woodlands, suburbs, and urban areas. Reconciling these diverse groups can be a challlenge.
