Welcome to Central Wisconsin
Living and Working in Central Wisconsin
Culture
One of the best ways to experience the local culture is at the 400 Block, a lively outdoor square in the middle of downtown Wausau that puts on a number of concerts, markets and festivals each year. The nearby Grand Theatre also hosts more than 300 musical and artistic performances annually, for those looking for a night of class and culture-rich entertainment.聽
Families
Getting outside is one of the area鈥檚 most popular pastimes, and a big part of the reason families enjoy living here. The rural charm, access to great schools and countless amenities and attractions round out the laid-back lifestyle of Central Wisconsin.聽
Activities
With the 1,528-acre Rib Mountain State Park nearby, you鈥檒l never be at a loss for something to do. The park is also home to Granite Peak, a popular ski hill, and not too far away is one of the longest 鈥渞ail trails鈥� in Wisconsin, as well as the state鈥檚 longest tubing hill at Sylvan Hill Park. If you鈥檙e looking for something a little less thrill-seeking, there are a number of great craft breweries, shopping hotspots and more.聽
Attractions
Although outdoor attractions abound, don鈥檛 miss the indoor appeal of places like the Woodson Art Museum that hosts the internationally-recognized 鈥淏irds in Art鈥� exhibition every year. The Center for the Visual Arts is another great spot to catch a free exhibit, while the architecture of the Andrew Warren Historic District never disappoints.聽
