Farmer's and Sportsmen's Conservation Club was founded on February 3, 1938 by 13 conservation minded outdoor sportsmen. Their goal was to promote good fellowship between outdoor sportsmen, farmers and other landowners in Sheboygan County, and the State. Their mission was to be both physically and financially supportive, of any and all conservation organizations that promote the best interests in restoration and conservation of our land, forests, water and wildlife.
Farmer's and Sportsmen's Club is located on the northwest side of the city Sheboygan, WI. It is bordered on the east by I-43, and on the west by Pine Hills Country Club. The original 37 acres was purchased in early 1938 and the first clubhouse was built there soon after from logs that were hand cut and shipped to the site from the Sheboygan Marsh. The club has since purchased addional 43 acres, and has a total of 80 acres of beautiful rolling wooded land, with the natural and picturesque Pigeon River running though the property.
The Facilities of the club starts at the clubhouse. A new and larger clubhouse was built and in 1962 a new bar was added on. The clubhouse features a full service bar, two party halls, upper and lower level, and food preparation and serving areas. A picnic shelter lies just south of the clubhouse on a hill over looking the property. To the east and north of the clubhouse lies the archery 3-D range, which run's through the rolling wooded area of the property. To the west of the shelter and the parking lot is the archery range. On the north end of the property and next to the Pigeon River are our shooting fields. There are three fully automatic trap fields, two skeet fields. A rifle range with 25,50, 100, and 200-yard brumes, with sheltered shooting benches. Just west of the trap and skeet fields and across the Pigeon River lies our black powder range, with 50-yard targets. Next to the black powder range lays the pistol range with 30-foot targets range.
