There is something so charming about small town, rural life. Southeastern Wisconsin doesn't let down. With great towns like Sheboygan, Port Washington, and Fond du Lac to choose from, you're sure to find the house of your dreams in a town you'll love to call home. Plus, you'll have easy access to major cities like Milwaukee, just over an hour away, or the great metropolis of Chicago. Anything you can't find right in town will be right at your fingertips a short drive away.
Sheboygan has a lot to offer your family. There are excellent museums like the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, full of beautiful works of art and the location of several community art classes, and the Above and Beyond Children's Museum, where your children will explore the world at the many hands-on interactive exhibits. Of course, there are also always local performances to see at the historic Weill Center for the Performing Arts. Summertime brings sunshine and fun at the Blue Harbor Resort and Spa, where there is a full-fledged water park. Plus, there are great annual events that people from all over the area enjoy like Bratwurst Days, a celebration of sausage and German heritage, or the Dairyland Surf Classic, the largest lake surfing competition.
Nearby Fond Du Lac is located right on the foot of Lake Winnebago. This area is full of excellent outdoors activities from fishing and boating on the lake to hiking around Lakeside Park. Even in the winter, residents take advantage of the area, like heading over to Buttermilk Creek Park where you'll find an amphitheater, two jungle gyms and a dedicated sledding hill. In the summer, there are great events like Fondue Fest, the Fond Du Lac County Fair, and the Free Family Fun Festival at Lakeside Park. The smaller town of Port Washington bills itself as "a touch of New England charm combined with Midwestern friendliness." It certainly is true of this whole rural area.
If you and your family are looking to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy the finer moments in life with family and the community, rural Wisconsin may just be the place for you. This beautiful area has the great benefits of quiet rural life while still giving you access to great urban centers like Milwaukee and Chicago.
