Point of Beginning
In 1831 Lucius
Lyon began surveying just south of the present day Hazel Green in
southwestern Wisconsin. This is the place where all land that was
to become Wisconsin would be measured.
Today, every property deed in Wisconsin
includes a description which is based on the Point of Beginning (POB).
The first permanent settlement in
Wisconsin was in Hazel Green in 1825. This makes Hazel Green an
ideal location for history enthusiasts and antique shoppers. The
village has several Bed and Breakfasts and antique shops to
offer.
The Mississippi River, 9 miles west,
provides excellent hunting and fishing. Golf courses and parks are
nearby.
