Our Community Center
Town Square Community Center is a nonprofit gathering place in the heart of downtown Green Lake, Wisconsin, where people of all ages come together to connect, create, learn, celebrate, and belong.
Located inside the historic former Green Lake County Courthouse, Town Square brings our community together and gives an important piece of our past a vibrant purpose for today.
Our Mission
The mission of Town Square Community Center is to enrich the lives of the Green Lake community members, family, and friends by providing cultural, social, recreational and educational opportunities for people of all ages, while preserving our treasured historic building.
100% Community Funded
Town Square is operated by Green Lake Renewal, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and is 100 percent community funded, with no tax dollars. Our community center makes everything we do possible through donations, memberships, rentals, events, sponsorships, volunteers, and partnerships.
Our Impact
Because of our community’s support, Town Square is a place where people connect, organizations grow, kids explore, and community traditions thrive. We are proud to welcome thousands of visitors through our doors each year.
A Historic Place with a New Purpose
Built in 1899 and designed by architect William Waters, the former Green Lake County Courthouse has been an important part of our community for more than a century.
In 2012, a group of community members came together with a shared vision—saving the historic building and transforming it into a community center for everyone.
The People Behind Town Square
It takes many people to make a community center work. Town Square is led by a dedicated staff and Board of Directors and strengthened by volunteers, donors, sponsors, local organizations, instructors, businesses, and community members who contribute their time, talents, ideas, and support.
Together, they help turn a historic building into a place full of activity, opportunity, and connection.
