Destination Kohler

Kohler is a village in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, along the Sheboygan River. The largest employer in Kohler is the Kohler Company, a worldwide leader in plumbing products. The village was created by the company as a planned community in 1912. Many people in Wisconsin refer to drinking fountains as “bubblers,” because the first Kohler drinking fountain was known as “The Bubbler.” In addition to the factory, the Kohler Company also owns The American Club golf resort, which includes the Blackwolf Run course complex in Kohler and the Whistling Straits complex in nearby Haven.
