Archaeology of Southeastern Wisconsin
With Dr. Amy Rosenbrough, State Archaeologist
We’re working with the local libraries to bring you one of our inspirations in the recent archaeological study done on the Hillmoor property. Click here to see more information that we gathered during that study.
Join us to get new views.
We’re walking the many paths of Hillmoor into the Fall If you haven’t explored the property, join us as we travel the trails.
We won’t be going into the brush or off the paths. Bugs and buckthorn are very prominent right now, and this is intended to be a friendly, fun introduction to the many different areas of the property.
Meet at the parking lot at the main entrance on Hwy 50/Main Street. 5:30pm every Wednesday, weather dependent.
We’ve got a project and need people who want to play in dirt.
We are going to work on a garden for the front entrance. Stay tuned to our email blasts and Facebook page.
You can donate funds or flora to our project. Send us an email if you want to discuss. Note that we are only using native plants, cultivars are not welcomed.
We’re making it easier to support the Friends. You can use this link. It is located in the “Donate” link in the menu.
The Hillmoor Commission is making great strides in developing a plan for the property. They have a newsletter (monthly or as needed) with updates and information, and a link to a Comment Page where you can voice your opinions, ideas and concerns. This link takes you to the City’s website page dedicated to the Commission.
We’ve been gathering information on how to make your yard a haven for you and the creatures that inhabit our world. See our page on landscape, plant, and natural ideas.
The paths of Hillmoor are still a bit rough, but the sites are beautiful.
If you go, please take photos and share on our Facebook page.

Ernie loved Hillmoor almost as much as his beloved Donna. He was adamant about maintaining the space as a place to be close to nature and where one could appreciate the beauty of a quiet walk with his dog.
Donna has requested that you make a donation to the Friends of Hillmoor in honor of the work Ernie started to restore our park to the beauty he remembered from his childhood.
You can use our donation form to make a contribution in honor of Ernie,
