Hartford: The Kissel Motor Car Company and Washington County
Hartford straddles the Rubicon River in Washington County and carries a manufacturing history tied to a short-lived luxury automobile. The Kissel Motor Car Company produced vehicles in Hartford from 1906 until 1931, when the Great Depression ended the operation. Kissel built sport cars, commercial vehicles, and hearses, and celebrities including Amelia Earhart owned Kissel Gold Bug Speedsters. The Wisconsin Automotive Museum on Grand Avenue preserves more than 80 vehicles including several Kissels alongside other Wisconsin-built cars.
The Broughton Sheboygan Marsh State Wildlife Area sits east of Hartford and provides waterfowl habitat and hiking trails, though most of Hartford's land remains developed or under cultivation. Pike Lake State Park lies west of the city in the Kettle Moraine, and the Ice Age Trail passes along Pike Lake's edge. The Kissel Car Museum draws automotive history enthusiasts from around the Midwest.
The city's population is about 15,800. Much of the economy now runs on manufacturing rather than automobiles, with firms producing custom metal products, specialty dairy, and consumer goods. The downtown along Main Street preserves early 20th-century storefronts with the Schauer Center for the Arts operating in the former Schauer Hardware building. Hartford sits about 35 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee.
