Appleton is the largest of the Fox Cities, a string of communities along the Fox River between Lake Winnebago and Green Bay that grew rich on paper mills powered by the river’s falls. Paper and packaging remain important, joined today by financial services, printing, manufacturing, healthcare and specialty trucks and equipment built in nearby Oshkosh. Lawrence University, a respected liberal arts college and conservatory, sits on the river bluff downtown, and Harry Houdini spent part of his childhood here.
The Fox Cities are about two hours north of Milwaukee and three and a half from Chicago. Appleton International Airport is on the west edge of the city, and Oshkosh’s Wittman Regional Airport is about 20 miles south, so a private flight can bring clients, suppliers and recruiters in direct for plant visits and meetings. Once a year, Wittman becomes the center of the aviation world for EAA AirVenture. Visitors also come for performances at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, the riverside trails, Houdini’s story and easy trips to Green Bay and Door County.
