Cambridge is famous for salt-glazed pottery, a historic Main Street, and hiking or biking on the CamRock trail system. The quaint shop owners and local artists are eager to tell you all about Cambridge, Wisconsin. If you can make it here in early August, you’ll be treated to sidewalk sales and activities during Maxwell Street Days (city wide garage sales too). Like community theaters? The Fireside Dinner Theater (Fort Atkinson) and Cambridge-Deerfield Players Theater stage is always filled with local talent and maybe the next big thing!
