Nashotah is located in the Lake Country area of Waukesha County.

The Village of Nashotah was incorporated on 9/11/1957.  Prior to that, Nashotah was an unincorporated part of the Town of Delafield and was a popular destination for train travelers.

The train station,  located on Rasmus Road,  was originally known as the Pine Lake Station but in 1875 was changed to the Nashotah Station.The train station still stands today with a number of businesses using the building over time.

At the given coordinates find the old remains of a building. The OAHS is not sure what this building was but based on the metal bars on the window speculation is it may have been a jail. Find the three windows on this old structure and count the remaining upright metal bars on all three windows. The total number of bars = X. The final is at N43 06. (90 + X) W088 24. (1008 - X).
