Washington County, Wisconsin
Washington County is located just a stone’s throw from Milwaukee. Rolling farmland gives way to busy towns like West Bend and Germantown. The Kettle Moraine State Forest cuts through the south.
History runs deep here. The area was settled by German immigrants in the 1800s, and you can still feel that heritage today. Old stone churches fill the countryside. Festivals celebrate everything from polka to bratwurst.
The county has a fun arts scene, too. Check out the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend. Outdoor recreation is big year-round. Summertime brings boaters to Big Cedar Lake, while winter sees skiers hitting the slopes at Little Switzerland. It’s close enough to Milwaukee for an easy commute, but far enough to feel like you’re in another world.

Forget the beer and cheese stereotypes. Wisconsin’s 72 counties have more going on than tailgates and taverns. Some hug Great Lakes shorelines, others stretch through dairy farms, forests, or rolling bluffs.
