Seymour boasts five large parks, including a swimming
lake, baseball, soccer, softball and other park facilities.
Seymour is the Home of the Hamburger. Charlie Nagreen
created the first hamburger in 1885 at the Seymour Fair and Seymour has
been celebrating its history ever since. Each August, Burger Fest brings
thousands of people to the community for the Ketchup Slide, a parade, the
Bun Run and other festivities. The city also holds the world’s record
for the largest burger, creating an 8,000-pound monster hamburger.
Seymour is also home to the Outagamie County Fair. The July event brings
about 80,000 visitors to the city each July. Big name entertainment and a
nationally ranked midway draw the crowds along with 2,000 4-H members who
show their best each summer.
The city’s large industrial park on the
community’s east side provides free land for businesses willing to
make their investment in the city. A new fire station is located on the
edge of the park provides full fire and rescue protection for businesses
and homes throughout the city.
The city has a full-time police department and operates water and sanitary
sewer services for residents.
The safe residential streets provide hometown warmth for the city’s
3,200 residents. New housing developments provide building lots for those
wishing to create their own dream.
Health care needs are provided by two fully staffed medical clinics and one
chiropractic clinic. Good Shepherd Services operates a nationally
recognized facility for long-term care and assisted living.
The Seymour Community School District is widely recognized as a strong,
innovative school district, which not only educates its students, but also
provides them with the enthusiasm and drive to succeed.
