Treasure of Waukesha County
Waukesha County is a place filled with rich history and many long standing landmarks. One that I think should be made a Waukesha Treasure is Kuhtz General Store. The location has a rich history and has had an impact on multiple generations in the Stone Bank area.
The store has been around since 1929 and has been in the family for 4 generations. People living in Stone Bank have grandparents that tell stories about going to Kuhtz as a child. It has become a part of the town.
The building is not just a general store though, it is a bar and restaurant also, serving drinks, food, ice cream, and anything else you could expect out of a small store. They’ve become the go-to place for almost anyone living in the area, and the fact that they’ve kept up such a reputation for so long says something. Being a bar, there are many people that regular at Kuhtz. There are many people I know that have great memories there and hope that the place “will never close.” When I ask either children or adults from the area about Kuhtz, they always have a story of something positive that happened while they were there.
Kuhtz General Store is an integral part of Stone Bank life. It has a rich history and has impacted many people who have lived in the area. It is truly a Waukesha County Treasure as it is treasured by anyone that lives in the area.
