Waupun: City of Sculpture and State Correctional Facilities
Waupun straddles the Dodge-Fond du Lac county line in east-central Wisconsin. The city's nickname, "City of Sculpture," comes from a series of bronze sculptures donated to the community by Clarence Shaler, a Waupun native who made his fortune in the tire repair business in the early 20th century. His signature piece, "The End of the Trail" by James Earle Fraser, stands near downtown. Other Shaler-donated sculptures are positioned around the city and include "The Recording Angel" and "Morning of Life."
Waupun is also defined by the presence of two state prisons. Waupun Correctional Institution, opened in 1851, is the oldest operating prison in Wisconsin and held the first state executions before capital punishment was abolished in the state in 1853. Dodge Correctional Institution, opened in 1977, serves as the reception center for all adult males entering the state prison system. Both facilities employ hundreds of workers and shape the local economy in ways similar to how factories define mill towns elsewhere.
The city's population is about 11,200. Waupun sits at the south edge of Horicon Marsh, a large wetland complex that attracts migratory birds including sandhill cranes and Canada geese during spring and fall migration. The downtown along Main Street includes several Shaler sculptures at key intersections.
