The Heart and Hustle Network

A Heartfelt Thank You, Edgerton

The first-ever Heart & Hustle History Walk was a dream turned reality this weekend! What started as a vision to connect businesses and celebrate Edgerton’s history came to life through weeks of coordination, creativity, and community effort.

Behind the scenes, there were maps being designed and printed, businesses being rallied, passports, digital tools built, raffle stops organized, and collaborations formed, all with one goal in mind: to showcase the incredible people who make our small town so special.

Despite the chill and a little rain, our community showed up with heart. From friendly faces sending visitors to the next stop, to shopkeepers sharing stories of Edgerton’s past and present, it was everything we hoped it would be.

We were deeply honored to welcome State Representative Brienne Brown, whose visit reminded us exactly why we built this network, small businesses are the heartbeat of Wisconsin’s economy. We’re the ones who remember your face when you walk in, who listen, cheer, and remember your stories shared across the counter.

A heartfelt thank you to every business that believed in this project from day one, and to everyone who came out despite the weather to support and explore. This is what local love looks like and this is only the beginning for the Heart & Hustle Network.

History Walk Stop: October 25th 10am - 3pm
Located at 112 Albion Street, Edgerton United Methodist Church sanctuary completed in 1881 and the education wing added in 1964, the Edgerton United Methodist Church stands as one of our community’s enduring landmarks of faith and fellowship.

Visitors are encouraged to ring the historic bell and admire the dedication quilt completed in 1883, a treasured piece of Edgerton’s story preserved within its walls.

The church’s bell tower, currently undergoing renovations, is looking absolutely splendid — and it even has a bit of literary fame. This is where Poe the crow is said to have hidden his “loot,” a story immortalized in Sterling North’s beloved book Rascal.

During the Edgerton History Walk, stop by to admire the tower’s craftsmanship and appreciate the blend of history, faith, and storytelling that continues to shape this downtown landmark.
