If its history your want, Omro has a plethora of it. Put on your walking shoes and join a unique tour of more than four dozen historical homes and business throughout the city. There's the old woolen mill, a former blacksmith shop and the Club Omreau Lanes building, originally built as a saloon. A seven-volume history of Omro is available at Omro City Hall, Carter Memorial Library and Omro Area Historical Society. For those who like to sink a line into water, fishing offers a chance at walleyes and other fish along the Fox River.
Boaters can anchor their crafts at well-placed docks along the river.
Omro has deep roots. The site of the present day Omro was Winnebago Indian Territory when French explorers first visited it in 1639. Eventually, a fur trading post was begun. Charles Omereau, a French trader and blacksmith and an early resident of the area, gave his name to the future city of Omro.
