The Creamery Restaurant and Inn
The Creamery Restaurant & Inn
Note - Closed until some time in April 2008
is a small, family-run business housed in the old Downsville Cooperative Creamery building, located in Downsville, Wisconsin, population 175. After a devastating flood in 1905, the course of the Red Cedar River was permanently changed. The Creamery is perched on the old river bank, about 1/4 mile east of the village center, near the present day river and the Red Cedar bike trail. The Creamery was remodeled by the Thomas family and opened in 1985. Since then, The Creamery has set new standards for dining, lodging and mellow hospitality in the Midwest.
