A view from across the lawn in front of the Whitewater Cultural Arts Center shows some of the ornate detail of the Birge Fountain, which was donated to the city of Whitewater, according to the Whitewater Arts Alliance website, in 1903 by Julius Birge. Birge is understood to be the first child born to European settlers in Walworth County. The fountain was made by the New York-based J.W. Fiske Company, the alliance website notes.
