Turville Point Conservation Park

Henry Turvill and his better half Mary went to the United States from the Town of Alton in Hampshire, England in 1850. They initially settled in Ohio and after that moved quickly to Canada before coming to Madison with four youngsters in 1852. Madison was yet a little town at that point. They lived first in the 400 piece of West Main Street. Being a descendent of a long queue of English ranchers, Henry Turvill acquired an expansive tract of arrive on the Southern shoreline of Lake Monona to begin a homestead and moved there in 1854.

Henry Turvill sold off a part of his property in 1854 to George Delaplaine and Elisha Burdick, two early Madison land examiners. They based on the site a recuperating resort called the Water Cure which was opened in 1855.
