| Neighborhood Description: | As idyllic a setting you'll ever find. Lake Monona and stunning views of the Madison skyline can be seen as you stroll down the streets parallel to the lakeshore! Lakeshore homes to modest cottages are located on wooded lots. Esther Beach was a notable place at the turn of the century. Find ladies in their Sunday best on the shores of Lake Monona and men wearing straw hats and white jackets while tying up their row boats is one of the images seen on vintage postcards. Today, Esther Beach is a lively place in summer with a place to buy ice cream a short distance away. Waunona Neighborhood Association has been actively working on acquiring and developing Thut Park for the last 20 years. |
