Lafayette County, Wisconsin

Lafayette County sits in the southwest corner of Wisconsin. Rolling hills and farmland as far as the eye can see. It’s cheese country, folks. Dairy farms and cheesemakers are everywhere.
The Pecatonica River winds through, popular with paddlers. Small towns like Darlington and Shullsburg have that classic Midwest charm. You won’t find any big cities here. That’s part of the appeal.
Hunting is big in the fall. Winters can be long, but people make the most of it. It’s the kind of place where a neighbor’s always ready to lend a hand.
