The Heart of Amish Country

Set atop some of the most scenic hills in West Central
Wisconsin, the village of Cashton and its surrounding townships are
home to the largest Amish community in Wisconsin.
Before the convenience of roads, Cashton marked the spot of
an old Native American Indian trail that led westward to the
Mississippi River. It served as a trading post and rest stop for
stagecoaches heading north towards Sparta and other cities. Today,
Highways 27 and 33 provide easy access to the Cashton area.
Cashton was founded in 1879 when the Viroqua branch of the
Milwaukee Railroad was built through the area. William Henry
Harrison Cash built that branch and acquired title to most of the
land that Cashton now covers.
The residents of Cashton welcome you into the village, where
you'll find the peace and quiet of small-town America. Stop in at
the local retail shops, visit the 19-acre Cashton Park, dine at the
friendly eateries and partake in some good old Midwestern
hospitality.

Handcrafted Amish goods, including baked products, quilts,
furniture, baskets and toys are available at various gift shops and Amish houses. Please respect
the lifestyle of the Amish; there should be not picture-taking or
Sunday sales.
Cashton continues to be a solid and progressive community.
The village catalyzes development through the Cashton Area
Development Corporation, which is active in creating federal and
state packages to spur progress at a local level.
A trip through Cashton can't be missed. From the pleasant
rolling hills to a warm and welcoming community, this unique village
is where the heart of the country can be found. |
