Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Neogothic Revival-styled church built in 1910 in Hartland, Wisconsin to serve its German-speaking Lutheran congregation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.Many Germans settled in Hartland in the mid-1800s. In 1867 local Germans and Danes formed a Lutheran congregation, constructing a church building. By 1910 there were strains, and the congregation split along ethnic lines. The Danes bought the old church, across the street from this building.The Germans built this new church building in 1910, with J.P. Peterson and Bernard Nienow as general contractors and the members donating labor. The foundation is fieldstone, with cream brick walls sitting on that, sheltered under a gable roof. The front square tower has a shingled spire topped with a cross. The NRHP nomination deems the building architecturally significant "as a good local example of the Gothic Revival style", but it is a rather squat Gothic Revival, with only a hint of a point on the arches. A 1951 addition to the rear does not detract from the building's architectural integrity.The current pastors are Reverends Steven Ristow and Ben Steenbock.

University Lake School is an independent school in Delafield, in the Lake Country area of Waukesha County in Wisconsin. ULS opened in 1956 on the 1840 Vettelson Farm near the eastern shore of Nagawicka Lake. Anne Vettelson deeded the land to the School on two conditions: that she be allowed to live the remainder of her life on the land and that students chop her fire wood each winter. University Lake School proudly sits on 180 acres of pristine woodland forest boasting a variety of managed ecological niches including restored prairie, crop and vegetable production, hardwood old-growth forest, and oak savannah. ULS is home to deer, turkeys, cranes, a blue heron rookery, domesticated chickens, managed bee hives, and a herd of goats. ULS has 265 pupils Pre-Kindergarten thru Grade 12 including a celebrated pre-primary program "Little Lakers" for 2-year-olds. Pre-Kindergarten programming includes a nature-based forest classroom, and the Lower School is based on the student-centered Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. The Middle and Upper Schools combine the highest-calibre academic work with an investigative and research-based approach to topics and disciplines. The student experience is based on fostering genuine relationships in intellectual community and discovering and being accountable to one's passions and talents. Current varsity and junior varsity athletics include soccer, field hockey, volleyball, cross country, basketball, skiing, track, tennis, and golf. The ULS college placement program curates an individual plan for each student to ensure that every graduating senior finds his or her best fit for ongoing academic challenge, career discovery, life adventure, and financing and scholarship at the country's most selective programs. ULS opens its doors and campus to non-enrolled students during the summer for robust academic, athletic, forest, and college preparation.
