The Fort Atkinson Club Community Center is a beautifully restored building in downtown For Atkinson along the banks of the Rock River. This historic building was lovingly restored by Joan Jones and a host of other remarkable volunteers and donors to become the vital community gathering space it is today. The FAC offers a range of impactful FREE programs for the community including chamber concerts, FacTalks, wellness classes, art programs and exhibitions, summer patio concerts and much more.
In order to keep our programming free and open to everyone in the community we have a few fundraisers annually to support our community vision of “A vibrant Fort Atkinson area, alive with cultural and learning experiences – music, visual arts, lectures, drama, wellness and celebrations – where our diverse population is actively engaged.”
