Meadowlark Acres Family Campground
Located in
Southeastern Wisconsin |

In 1957, Tom and Elizabeth Wallace moved their
family to rural Burlington and a property of mixed hardwood, pasture and
fertile farm fields. Six short years later, they welcomed the first
guests to “Meadowlark Acres” in a desire to share the beauty and
serenity of the land they felt privileged to occupy as God’s stewards.
Both teachers, Tom and Elizabeth taught in the school room and one-on-one at the campground throughout their lifetimes, sharing selflessly of their time, knowledge and kindness. Tom passed away in 2003, but Elizabeth continues to entertain friends and family who visit her and “Brava,” a beautiful little border collie. In 2011, Meadowlark Acres, still a family campground, is beginning a new chapter as part of Fellow Mortals, a wildlife hospital that has provided care for injured and orphaned wildlife since 1985. Meadowlark Acres Nature & Education Center will combine the stewardship of God’s land with the stewardship of His creation under the direction of Fellow Mortals’ and Meadowlark Acres’ boards of directors. Plans for the near future include nature trails and outdoor events and education programs, as well as a festival in mid-September with fun for all ages, from toddlers to the elderly. Future plans include permanent wildlife exhibits and fun and educational activities year-round on the property. Meadowlark Acres is the legacy of two people who wanted nothing more than to share the message of God’s love through opening others’ eyes to the wonder of His work and the sharing of their land. Fellow Mortals will continue that legacy in their stead.
