Architecture, history & things to do near University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison)
UW-Madison's campus stretches across the isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. Bascom Hill, a steep slope leading up to Bascom Hall (1857), is the symbolic heart of campus — Abraham Lincoln's statue sits at the top. The Memorial Union Terrace, right on the shore of Lake Mendota, is one of the most beloved college gathering spots in America, with its signature sunburst chairs and sunset views. The Chazen Museum of Art houses over 20,000 works. The Engineering Campus clusters around Engineering Hall on the west side. Camp Randall Stadium, on the site of a Civil War training camp, seats over 80,000 for Badger football and the famous 'Jump Around' tradition.
