Which Wisconsin city was Georgia O'Keeffe born near?

Georgia O'Keeffe was born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Her family lived on a dairy farm near the city, where she was born in 1887.

Sun Prairie is in Dane County, northeast of Madison. O'Keeffe's childhood in the Wisconsin countryside preceded her education at art schools in Chicago and New York and her later life in the American Southwest. The rural landscape was not the only source of her art, but it formed the earliest physical environment she knew.

Madison is a common mix-up because it is the county seat and the nearest major city, but O'Keeffe's birthplace is identified specifically with Sun Prairie. Her later reputation is more closely associated with New Mexico, where she found enduring subjects in desert landscapes, bones, flowers, and adobe architecture.
