Ashippun the Beautiful...
Was created out of Love for our town and a much needed facelift to one of the town’s biggest treasures, the state’s tallest live lit Christmas tree. ATB’s first order of business will be to help secure funding with the help of local businesses and organizations to make sure the tree is lit for the Christmas season. ATB’s mission will not stop there, your donations will help support the many projects around Ashippun to help make it beautiful. From preserving history and helping buildings like the Maple Inn get on the historical register, beautifying parks, and protecting our precious farmland. Together we can preserve tradition and act as guardians of growth to make a town all of us can be proud of.

Blaze a Trail
This ten acre Town Owned parcel is ripe for opportunity for walking trails and getting in touch with nature. ATB is partnering with local youth organizations and Boy Scouts to make a dream a reality.
We will be able to use wood chips the town makes from cutting down trees into groomed walking trails. Help sponsor a day of blazing trails by supplying water - lunch and snacks for volunteers

Funds for Fixing
Whether it’s landscaping at Triangle Park – solar lights for the Town Welcome signs or a Hoop net for one of the Towns Park basketball hoops – there is always a need for fixing big and small – Your funds will help it all!
Preservation
Ashippun the Beautiful isnt advocating change in the traditional sense, we’re advocating preservation to maintain tradition. Without preservation there is deterioration. If you own a home for more than 30 years you have to get your shingles replaced – if you dont, you risk losing value in your home and compromising the integrity of the structure. The same goes for our town, it will continue to deteriorate if we dont do anything.
Rich History
Together
We raised funds as an individual for 2023 tree lighting. We were able to coordinate removing 15 years of accumulated lights on the tree with the help of the Ashippun Fire Department and Western Lakes Fire Department. We are Committed to seeing Ashippun’s potential and preserving the integrity of the town.
