Marquette Neighborhood   Add to Favorites   Flag

  1. The Marquette Neighborhood is known throughout the region for its eclectic residents, historic architecture, fine restaurants, night life and shopping district on Williamson St. It's nestled between Blair St. on the West, East Washington Ave. on the North, Division St. on the East and the scenic shore of Lake Monona on the South. Orton Park (Madison's oldest park), lakefront Yahara Place Park, the future Central Park, BB Clark Beach and the Yahara River Parkway add to our recreational options. The Isthmus Bike Trail and the numerous restored bridges across the Yahara River make a pleasant pedal or stroll incredibly scenic and convenient. The quaint two block Bungalow District is a designated National Historic Site.

    The activist Marquette Neighborhood Assoc. was established in 1969 as Madison’s first association with an elected Board and card-carrying membership. MNA is responsible for two multi-day festivals - the Marquette Waterfront Festival and the Orton Park Festival Weekend, a mid-winter Chili Dinner/Dance and a 7-week free summer camp-the Eastside Express. The Williamson/ Marquette Gazette is our neighborhood newsletter that is put together in cooperation with the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center and Common Wealth Development Co. staffs. “Where everyone is welcome” is our neighborhood motto and we invite you to come and enjoy our hospitality.
