Discovering the Lost City of Janesville

As I roamed Janesville's deserted streets, I realized that the city had once been a bustling center of manufacturing. I captured images of the city's historic architecture and learned about its industrial past at the Rock County Historical Society. The city's parks and recreation areas provided a welcome contrast to its industrial past. From its scenic bike trails to the serene Rotary Botanical Gardens, Janesville is an unexpected oasis in the midst of Wisconsin's industrial heartland.
