In Wisconsin history today, nearby Lake Geneva missed an astonishing opportunity in 1950, as the Wisconsin Historical Society reports:

1950 – Lake Geneva Vies for Air Force Academy

On this date the city of Lake Geneva put forth efforts to be the future site for the U.S. Air Force Academy. A federal selection committee arrived to inspect the 100-room Stone Manor on Geneva Lake’s south shore and considered it as a possible headquarters building. The Air Force’s college for officers was eventually located in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1958. [Source: Janesville Gazette]
