Discover Lomira: Parks, Market, and History

Lomira can be explored through its diverse parks and local historic sites. The Buerger Nature Trail is known for scenic walks, while Crystal Springs Park features a spring-fed pond. There are also sports and play areas, the seasonal Farmers Market, and facilities that preserve artifacts and written records. This mix gives you several specific reasons to plan your stay around your interests rather than reducing Lomira to a single activity.

Parks with their own character

The Buerger Nature Trail is well suited to scenic walks. If you want to spend time outdoors, this is a clear highlight; Crystal Springs Park offers something different, with its spring-fed pond. Sterr Park, meanwhile, is Lomira’s largest park. Together, these three places offer distinct park features—a trail and views, a pond, and a large green space. When planning your day, it helps to decide first whether you’d rather focus on a walk or on a particular park.

Sports and play facilities set the other parks apart. Athletic Fields Park has a concession stand and three softball or baseball fields. North Hills Park is a neighborhood park with swings, a slide, and a picnic area. Oak Springs Park has modular playground equipment, a basketball hoop, and four acres of open space. These features give you clear options: ball fields, play equipment with a picnic area, or extra open space. Check the current facilities at North Hills and Oak Springs in person before your visit.

Market dates and local history

For the 2026 season, the Lomira Farmers Market is scheduled for Thursdays from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sterr Park Pavilion, 568 Pleasant Hill Avenue, Lomira. This is a seasonal evening event, not a year-round offering. If you plan to visit the market, check the specific dates and operating details in advance.

The Lomira Historical Society preserves local history by collecting artifacts and written accounts and informing the public; its activities may change. Located in Sterr Park in the Village of Lomira, the Silver Leaf School House displays exhibits and artifacts. Check its seasonal availability before planning a visit. In the Lomira Quad-Graphics Community Library, the History Room preserves family histories as well as church and cemetery records. If you plan to visit, check the current library hours, as they may change.

Choose a vacation rental to suit your interests

When choosing a vacation rental in Lomira, start by considering what you want your stay to center on: scenic walks, the parks’ distinct features, local history, or a market visit. The market and Silver Leaf School House have seasonal schedules to consider; for the History Room, keep library hours in mind. The different park features can help you narrow down what you want to focus on during your time in Lomira—from trails and sports fields to play areas and open space.
