I’ve been there too and yes I agree with you, it’s really like a Disneyland for adults.

I have all the same sentiments as you, and it really was one of the best trips to be a part of. The only sad thing is that we’re only 2 or so hours away in Chicago, and I haven’t even been back. I think that might need to change this fall, as it’s SO beautiful when the leaves change in Wisconsin.

I grew up in Kohler and my parents still live there. I now live in Milwaukee, WI and it wasn’t until I moved away that I realized what a gem it is. I am an artist and to have grown up in a place that valued art so highly hugely impacted me. (Did you know the Kohler Foundry has Artist in Residents that are allowed to use the ceramics and foundry to create their art? And did you see all of the sculptures placed carefully around the village? The park by my childhood home has a museum of trees from across the globe and you can take a walking tour with headphones to learn about them.) Just this past August I got married at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. It’s in Sheboygan, not Kohler, but did you happen to pay a visit? It was one of my favorite museums on earth. It is spectacular and I am so priviledged to have been married there. Not to mention it’s only a few short blocks from the lake!

I have so much pride for where I am from and it honestly warms my heart so much to stumble across this post on one of my favorite blogs. How random!? It only endears the place to me more and your words and the way you spoke of it was so elegant, I could cry.

Thanks so much, again!
Christina

But how could you not go on and on about the design center? I wandered through all of those bathrooms for hours one day. So much inspiration!

This town looks so much like the town I went to school in as well (Menomonie). I had a friend that did a lot of catering work for Kohler though, and she spoke very highly of Kohler.

Anyhow, based on your pictures I would love to visit the Kohler factory, as it looks absolutely amazing! Speaking of tiny Midwest towns that are adorable and make home furnishing-type items, you should check out Pella, IA…they make the windows. It is an adorable Dutch town, and I absolutely enjoyed visiting there.

I’ve memorized the unique features of the dormers and gables from their backyard. Wow, and this was built for immigrants? I didn’t know that. You must visit Door County if you come back to Kohler, it is so lovely and quaint .

Cheers from Germany,

Would you believe I’ve never been to the Design Center? You can bet I’ll be going now! If ever you get back to your Porcelain Disney, *do* let your adoring Wisconsin fans know ~ we’ll throw you a cheese curd filled, strudel packed party! sigh…. Mandi Gubler was in Kohler….. that’s crazy sauce.

Thanks for writing this. I love learning! My 93 yr old dad knows something about everything it seems. I can’t wait to ask him about Kohler when we have our daily FaceTime sesh today! He lives in Minnesota so chances are he’ll have a Kohler story! We drive to Minnesota from NC so we’ll have to work in Kohler somehow some way!
