Trapp Filling Station

The Trapp Filling Station, at 252-256 W. Capitol Drive in Hartland, Wisconsin, was built in 1922. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.Originally, the structure was built and used as a house. It was located on the major highway into Hartland, though, and in the 1920s Cornelius Trapp began to operate it as a filling station. Apparently "its location was obviously not prominent enough to succeed in sales. The site was soon used by others, twice as a grocery store by the Elmer Hornburg family and the Ferdi Dombroski family. More recently it has seen use as a handcraft outlet store and a health food market. Members of the Trapp family remained residents of the upper residential areas even when changing commercial agents operated out of the lower area."

University Lake School

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.
