Description	From the 1870s into the 1930s Oconomowoc was known as the "Newport of the West" as wealthy Midwesterners, primarily from Milwaukee and Chicago, built palatial summer homes on these lakeshores and arrived by train every summer. Although that elegant lifestyle has changed and some of the homes razed or converted into yerar-round homes, the beauty which attracted these summer residents still remains. In addition to passing many of these homes, the walk includes the historic Oconomowoc Depot, the magnificent Veteran's Memorial Park, several lovely parks, and the site of the world premiere of MGM's "Wizard of Oz".
