The 1928 barn was actually used for grain storage until the end of World War II. At a time when housing was at a premium, the owner of this barn offered it to Mr. & Mrs. Warren Parker who made it their home and, subsequently, that of their children. It seems that the ancient story of "no room at the inn," and the use of a stable, repeats itself.
La Grange means "the barn" in French. Following this theme in decorating, our inn features a French country motif. Each room carries a theme relating to the barn, but with a French interpretation. One bathroom door, for example, bears the words "salle de bain."
Located on a secluded lot, the pines, tall maples and walnut trees at La Grange provide isolation and plenty of shade as well as homes for squirrels and countless birds. Other outdoor features include benches for just sitting and observing nature, a fire pit for an evening marshmallow roast, and a selection of outdoor photo backdrops to capture special occasions.
The
Fort Atkinson area, while within
easy driving distance from Madison and Milwaukee, maintains the
small-town atmosphere that reduces stress and truly makes
visitors feel welcome. Events in the region are plentiful,
ranging from sleigh rides and snowmobiling in the winter to
fishing, craft fairs, and community picnics in summer. Concerts
and outstanding dance and drama programs are available at the Fireside
Dinner Theater, Cafe
Carpe, and at nearby University of
Wisconsin - Whitewater year
round. Or an invited guest may simply choose to sit in the great room and
pet our domestic cat, Soleil. At La Grange, there is a lot to do
or not do, as a guest may choose. We hope our donation of care for the
caregivers allows us to support the outstanding work they do.
