Birthplace of City of Monona. Built originally as a garage, this brick structure served from 1932 to 1952 as the only neighborhood grocery. Operated by early settler Ernie Ferchland, the store served as a meeting place for Blooming Grove Township residents who planned the incorporation of the Village of Monona. Dissatisfied with the services being provided by the Township of Blooming Grove, five residents of the area - Ernie Ferchland, Ray Owen, Ed Rothman, Walter Simon and Justin Waterman - met in Ernie's Trading Post to discuss secession from the Township. With a $300 retainer, they secured legal service regarding the process. Community meetings were held over a span of five months and, in spite of some opposition, a referendum to secede was passed (241 to 171) on August 29, 1938. Incorporation papers were signed on 1938. September 1, Monona Village comprised an area of 1.75 sq. miles with 350 families, population of 1100, and an assessed evaluation of $1.5 million. It also contained seven miles of waterfront, fourteen miles of local streets, 3.5 mlles of state highway, five bridges, three school districts and eight park areas. Justin Waterman was elected the first village president.

The E-Way Unit of Capital Springs State Recreation Area features 625 acres of wetlands, prairies, and woodlands, providing a vital corridor for wildlife and outdoor recreation. There are miles of hiking, biking, and skiing trails, with scenic views of Nine Springs Creek. Envisioned initially as an environmental study model, the E-Way is a fantastic space for education and conservation.

Wingra Creek is a picturesque waterway connecting Lake Wingra to Lake Monona through a lovely green corridor. Historically, it was modified for drainage and boat access, but today, it is a quiet route for paddlers and cyclists as it winds along parks and natural springs. The creek is home to diverse wildlife, including turtles, ducks, and fish, making it a great place to escape the city and enjoy spending time outdoors.
