Green County, Wisconsin

Green Location Map Wisconsin

Green County sits in southern Wisconsin, right on the Illinois border. It’s cheese country, plain and simple. The Swiss brought their cheesemaking skills here generations ago. You can still see their influence in towns like New Glarus, known as “America’s Little Switzerland”.

Rolling hills and picturesque farms define the landscape. The Sugar River State Trail draws cyclists and hikers year-round. Monroe, the county seat, hosts a yearly Cheese Days festival that’s not to be missed.

Craft breweries and wineries have popped up alongside traditional dairy farms. The pace of life is slow here, and people like it that way. It’s where you can step back in time and savor the simple things.
