Paramount Plaza Walk-of-Fame

Designed as a piano keyboard, the Walk-of-Fame pays tribute to those individuals who have contributed to Grafton's musical legacy. Each year the Village of Grafton selects at least one artist for induction. One black granite piano key is designed for each artist and includes their birth name, nickname and/or musical legacy, and primary musical instrument.

Water Fountain and Sculpture

The water fountain evokes images of the Milwaukee River as the site of the Paramount recordings in Grafton. The sculpture, designed and created by local artist Norm Christianson, depicts a visual representation of Grafton's musical heritage.

The Walk of Fame is visible to the right of the fountain.

Paramount Plaza Walk of Fame is located in Grafton, Wisconsin.

Thank you so much for visiting, documenting, photographing and sharing our historic markers! This is truly an honor and it is much appreciated.

I just discovered your site and have been using it in my fourth grade summer school class in Viroqua, WI. We learned about Wisconsin throughout the year and are spending some time during summer school reading and talking about the history of Viroqua. We plan to take a walking trip to the Pioneer Cemetery and Lucy Stone marker. Thank you for all of your information!

Hi, I really love your historic marker site a lot, I write a travel blog and I get pictures of these markers to assist in my writing about each town. I went to the Dean House in January for their monthly tour. Here is a link.
