Attractions
Crossing the Mississippi on the Cassville Ferry
Its clear throughout Grant County why Wisconsin is called Americas Dairyland. From state-of-the-art facilities to rustic countryside views, agriculture remains a staple in our past, present and future. But this corner of the Driftless Region is more than just cows and crops. Our rolling hills, blufftops and waterways have shaped the culture of Grant County for centuries. Featuring nearly 100 miles of shore along the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers, adventure awaits you with fishing, boating, camping and more. Step back in time with our variety of museums, step out to nature along our many trails, or step into our neighborhood shops to discover the treasures that are unique to Grant County.
