Located within the Lake Country area near the shores of Okauchee Lake and Moose Lake is a small community rich in history dating back to 1842. We welcome you to learn more about Stone Bank.
Take a step back in time and venture inside Kuhtz General Store which was established in 1926 and is a 4th generation owned and operated establishment. Ice cream, candy, games, and more entertain all ages. Many stop at Kuhtz General Store for lunch where the menu offers sandwiches, giant pretzels, and pizza. Up the road you will pass a gas station which once included the famous Dotties Bakery, the best doughnuts and cookies a child ever knew about. Along Hwy K is Butch’s Steakhouse, a great place enjoy a delicious steak with mushrooms.
The 4th of July floods this town with visitors who find tradition in watching one of the greatest parades around. From fire trucks to old cars, bikes decorated with streamers to homemade floats, local farmers waving from their tractors to witnessing a donkey walk down the street. This parade begins at Stone Bank School and ends at the Stone Bank Fireman’s park. Here everyone gathers to eat food and socialize finding old friends and sharing memories. This year Stone Bank is celebrating their 62nd annual July 4th Festival and Parade by the Lake Country Lions Club.
There has been a school is Stone Bank for over 150 years. Today Stone Bank School is home to over 360 4K-8th Graders. Our very own team member Nicole Brown attended Stone Bank School and now her daughter attends. Many students of the school returned to Stone Bank to raise their families in their hometown where school, family, and neighborhood are top priorities.
The Stone Bank Volunteer Fire Department serves the town of Oconomowoc and the town of Merton. The history of the department dates back to 1909 when buckets were used to put out the fires. The fire department is located next to the Fireman’s park where you can catch a softball game or watch the kids swing. Every year in June you’ll find a festival kicking off Summer where the covered pavilions are full of friends listening to music and enjoying a beer.
Hope see you at the parade on the 4th of July!
