Coming Soon...

Since many of our family and friends have not made the trek down to Iowa yet, we are going to bring our lovely town to you!  Over the next few months and through the summer we'll show you all the places in and around Washington were we spend much of our time (or much of our $$!)  

Here is a photo along one of our favorite walks just at the edge of town, about a mile from our house.

Here's a brief history of Washington:

Washington cherishes its rich heritage, which dates all the way back to 1835, when the land first became available for settlement following treaties with the Sac and Fox Indian tribes. Originally, the town was designated as Slaughter, a name given in honor of William B. Slaughter, Secretary of the Territory of Wisconsin. The name was not well taken and was soon changed to Washington, after George Washington, on January 25, 1839, the same year the town became the county seat.
