About Waupun, Wisconsin
Waupun is a city in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Waupun was founded in 1839 by Seymour Wilcox, the first settler along the Rock River in what was then deciduous forested land. Waupun is home to a collection of outdoor sculptures by Clarence Addison Shaler, a manufacturer, inventor, and sculptor from the local area. These sculptures include The Dawn of Day, Who Sows Believes in God, The Pioneers, and The Recording Angel, among others. (Wikipedia)
