Community
The “life blood” of a town is not made of corpuscles and cells, or facts and dates, but rather the stream of people that flow in and out of the community from its birth down the years of its existence.
Perhaps the smaller the community the more it is aware of the exceptional people instrumental in keeping the “life blood” coursing. Some such personalities will have risen to national and international awareness, while others are known statewide. Then there are the majority – those village patrons, church leader, town benefactors, concerned citizens.
Cambria is located 40 miles north of Madison, 25 miles east of Portage and 19 miles west of Beaver Dam.
