Our story begins in a small town
Nestled in the northeastern corner of Dodge County, Wisconsin, at first glance, LeRoy, WI may not seem a likely destination for those who don’t live there; however, LeRoy can boast two things that make it unique to other Wisconsin towns. First, this small farming community is set only three miles north of the Horicon Marsh and offers some breathtaking views of the Marsh. Second, LeRoy is the home to The Wisco Supper Club, an old fashioned supper club, which offers a great atmosphere in which to enjoy excellent food.
The supper club has an interesting past: It was once a tavern, general store with butcher shop, and dance hall (all at the same time) at one point it offered rentable sleeping rooms as well. The building was built in the late 1800s by Louis Lehner and, known as Lehner’s Corner, became a very popular stop for stage coaches and local travelers for years. The traffic made the town very busy, and it offered a blacksmith shop and other small businesses. The dance hall was used by the community even after it ceased to be a dance hall as it hosted weddings and even movies.
In 1973 Dick and Jeanne Kollman purchased the building which was being used as a tavern and small restaurant. Inspired by the history of the building, Dick and Jeanne expanded the dining area in order to help the building remain a popular community gathering spot. For 44 years they happily served guests from near and far, used for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding rehearsals, and small weddings, the restaurant became the hub they envisioned.... and now they have passed down their legacy to Mike and Teresa Amerling, who after being long-term guests, purchased the supper club in January of 2017.
With open hearts and an open door, Mike and Teresa welcome you to join them in experiencing some of the past in the present at The Wisco - An Old Fashioned Supper Club. They have a great friendship and respect for Dick and Jeanne and plan on continuing many of the great traditions that have been established over the years. Offering excellent food and warm hospitalty that cannot be rivaled in east-central Wisconsin.
