The Octagon House is a 5-story home constructed in 1854. As the name implies, it boasts an unusual 8-sided shape that made it into one of Watertown's most famous landmarks. Built into the home were rudimentary forms of running water, central air conditioning and central heat - all nearly unheard of luxuries at the time. It was transformed into a museum and opened to the public in 1938, with guided tours available to visitors. The First Kindergarten in America is also located on the museum grounds.

Fishing is a popular activity along the Rock River. Catfish are the primary species here, but you can also catch northern pike, bullheads, walleye, bluegill, carp, white and smallmouth bass. You can also head over to nearby Lac la Belle for even more fishing. Panfish and largemouth bass are particularly popular in these waters.
