Often called "the birthplace of modern astrophysics", the observatory was operated by the University of Chicago Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics from its founding in 1897 until 2018. Ownership was transferred to the non-profit Yerkes Future Foundation (YFF) in May 2020, which began millions of dollars of restoration and renovation of the historic building and grounds. Yerkes re-opened for public tours and programming in May 2022.
The East Troy Railroad Museum operates on the last remaining piece of the original interurban network which operated in Wisconsin. In 1939 the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Transit Company petitioned to abandon this segment of railroad due to lack of ridership. Since everything from gas to groceries came in to East Troy by our line, the Village passed a referendum to purchase this 7.5 mile stretch of track and overhead for freight purposes. The Village of East Troy operated the railroad until the year 1985, when it was leased to the Wisconsin Trolley Museum, which took over operation of the freight railroad. In 1995 the railroad was purchased by the Friends of East Troy Railroad, which became the East Troy Railroad Museum. Today, the East Troy Electric Railroad has 32 pieces of equipment with over 500 members worldwide, 110 active volunteers and almost 25,000 visitors each year!
